The aim of the conducted study was to isolate, identify and characterize suitable bacterial strains from UCG wastewater as potential candidates for the bioaugmentation approach. For this purpose, the straightforward cultivation procedure and unique biochemical selection were employed to gain insights into the specific properties of bacteria. From the 100 strains isolated from UCG wastewater, three (Paenibacillus pasadensis SAFN-007, Peanibacillus humicus Au34, and Staphylococcus warneri DK131) demonstrated the capacity to degrade phenol and specific biochemical properties. Phenol degradation reached more than 90% for the above-mentioned strains, while the average phenol removal rate for other selected strains was 82.9%, ranging from 66.1% to 90%. The bacterial strains belong to multi-enzyme producers and constitute a possible source of potential technologically important enzymes. Phenotypic microarray plates were used to characterise the metabolic properties of the strains. It was found that 74%, 67.4% and 94.2% of the carbon metabolites tested were utilised by Paenibacillus pasadensis SAFN-007, Peanibacillus humicus Au34 and Staphylococcus warneri DK131, respectively. Among C sources, the strains have the capability to metabolize some substrates appearing in phenol pathways, such as: N-acetyl-D-glucosamine, succinic acid, α-hydroxy-glutaric acid-γ-lactone, bromosuccinic acid, mono-methyl succinate, methyl-pyruvate, p-hydroxy-phenyl acetic acid, m-hydroxyphenylacetic acid, L-galactonic acid-γ-lactone, D-galactonic acid-γ- lactone, phenylethylamine. Bacteria show different levels of tolerance to pH and osmolality, and they can thrive in different habitats. Another characteristic of these strains is their high resistance to many antibiotics (multi-resistant bacteria). These properties allow the use of the isolated bacterial strains as good candidates for bioremediation of phenol-contaminated environments. The wastewater from the underground coal gasification process is an example of a good extreme environment for the isolation of unique bacteria with specific metabolic properties.

The microbial assay for risk assessment (MARA) test was used for acute cesium toxicity evaluation in water solutions. The test contained 11 different microorganisms with a wide spectrum of sensitivity. The resistance of microorganisms to cesium was characterized as follows: microbial toxic concentration (MTC), half maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50), maximal inhibitory concentration (IC100). The sensitivity to cesium was characterized by the lowest observed effect level (LOEL). High levels of sensitivity in the range 3.1–6.3 mM were shown by the following microorganisms: Serratia rubidaea > Pseudomonas aurantiaca, Delftia acidovorans, Citrobacter freundii, Staphylococcus warneri. Lower levels of sensitivity (up to 16 mM) were noted for Comamonas testosteroni, Microbacterium species, Kurthia gibsonii, Pichia anomala, whereas that in the range 24–31 mM for Brevundimonas diminuta > Enterococcus casseliflavus. High resistance to Cs+ was found for E. casseliflavus (MTC 86.9 g/l) > the yeast – P. anomala (MTC 19.3 g/l) > K. gibsoni (MTC 17.4 g/l) > B. diminuta (MTC 13.4 g/l). The phenomenon of resistance of enterococcus and yeast strains was discussed.
