Several cultures were capable of metabolizing monoaromatic compounds, supplied as the sole carbon source at 2 g L−1. Some consortia degraded mixtures of seven aromatics (4 g L−1) after 1 week of incubation at 32°C. The consortia were also active against monoaromatics of the undiluted OOME. This reduced the inhibitory effect of phenolic compounds prior to the anaerobic digestion of OOME at batch scale. No inhibition of the anaerobic microbial populations was noticed with treated OOME. From the most active consortium, nine different bacterial strains were isolated and shown to grow on simple aromatic compounds. Removal of 50% of the initial chemical oxygen demand and degradation of almost all of the simple aromatics in undiluted OOME was obtained with reconstituted bacterial mixtures. A slight reduction in colouration was due to adsorption of coloured compounds to bacterial cells. Presumably, the consortia could not reduce and degrade the coloured compounds in OOME.
