Bioenergetic strategy for the biodegradation of p-cresol by the unicellular green alga Scenedesmus obliquus. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 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.

Electrochemical incineration of cresols: A comparative study between PbO2 and boron-doped diamond anodes [PDF]
, 2009 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]
PLoS ONE, 2014 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.

The Natural Metabolite 4-Cresol Improves Glucose Homeostasis and Enhances β-Cell Function
Cell Reports, 2020 Summary: Exposure to natural metabolites contributes to the risk of cardiometabolic diseases (CMDs). Through metabolome profiling, we identify the inverse correlation between serum concentrations of 4-cresol and type 2 diabetes.
