Abstract
Laser desorption time-of-flight (LD-TOF) mass spectrometry was utilize d to determine the metabolic intermediates in microbial degradation of phenol. The identified components were in good agreement with the wel l-documented pathway. This technique also demonstrated excellent preci sion. Analytical merits, instrumentation and methodology are discussed .
