Entrapped cells of Rhizobium sp. isolated from Lablab purpureus in calcium alginate degraded catechol (1,2-dihydroxybenzene) compared with the free cells. Agitation enhanced its rapid degradation. The versatility of Rhizobium sp. to degrade phenolic substances can be exploited in biotechnological application.
