Abstract
The biodegradation of phenolic contaminant present in wastewater by micro algae has been investigated in the current research. The study focused on algae growth requirements and factors affecting algae growth in contaminated water leading to the best treatment. Different techniques used to functionalize microalgae in the treatment such as batch and continuous operation modes have been further investigated. Mechanisms for microalgae pollutants degradation and microalgae growth kinetics were also highlighted to present the required knowledge in phenol contaminant biodegradation field by microorganisms

Summary
Among the most essential environmental issues, pollution, of surface water, has become a standout problem among the most imperative environmental issues. Organic pollution happens when huge amounts of organic compounds from numerous sources are discharged into running waters, lakes and seas. Organic pollution could adversely influence the water quality in numerous ways. Phenol is an aromatic hydrocarbon containing a hydroxyl group (OH) tied to the benzene ring. It is a basic structural unit for a diversity of artificial organic compounds. Phenols are divided either as natural or synthetic nonaromatic compounds in different environmental sites as major pollutants. Due to the aromatic structure of phenol, it is renitent to biodegradation naturally and phenolic compounds have been reported to have high stability because of the difficulty of cleaving the benzene ring. The biological. degradation is done through benzene ring. cleavage using the enzyme presents. in the microorganism [14]
