Bioenergetic strategy for the biodegradation of p-cresol by the unicellular green alga Scenedesmus obliquus. [PDF]
Cultures from the unicellular green alga Scenedesmus obliquus biodegrade the toxic p-cresol (4-methylphenol) and use it as alternative carbon/energy source. The biodegradation procedure of p-cresol seems to be a two-step process.

A simulated colorimetric INHIBIT logic gate based on 2-(2-thiazolylazo)-p-cresol [PDF]
2-(2-Thiazolylazo)-p-cresol system achieved distinct optical output signal by controlling pH and mercury-ion complexation. The 2-(2-thiazolylazo)-p-cresol with mercury ion existed as an equilibrium mixture of both an azo and hydrazone tautomeric forms at

Electrochemical incineration of cresols: A comparative study between PbO2 and boron-doped diamond anodes [PDF]
The electrooxidation of aqueous solutions containing 5 mM of o-, m- and p-cresol at pH 4.0 has been investigated using a flow filter-press reactor with a boron-doped diamond (BDD) under galvanostatic electrolysis. All cresols are degraded at similar rate

p-Cresol affects reactive oxygen species generation, cell cycle arrest, cytotoxicity and inflammation/atherosclerosis-related modulators production in endothelial cells and mononuclear cells. [PDF]
AIMS: Cresols are present in antiseptics, coal tar, some resins, pesticides, and industrial solvents. Cresol intoxication leads to hepatic injury due to coagulopathy as well as disturbance of hepatic circulation in fatal cases.
