To stimulate plant development in phytoremediation or in the cultivation of non-food crops in potentially contaminated soils, a biotechnologically created product could be applied. The aim of this study was to explore the possibility of creation of biofertiliser, based on activated sludge combined with bacterial strain with detoxifying and plant growth promoting properties. The presented study is focused on the effect of phenol in the following concentrations: 5 mg/l, 100 mg/l, 250 mg/l, 500 mg/l and 1000 mg/l on the metabolic activity of    Brevibacillus   laterosporus    BT271 . The gradual increased concentration of phenol was used to study the metabolic activity of mineralised activated sludge and    B.   laterosporus    BT271 . The CTC/DAPI staining showed high activity of the bacteria even at the highest concentration. The greatest amount of biomass was accumulated at 5 mg/l phenol (4.44 × 10 7  cells/ml). At this toxicant concentration, a total dehydrogenase activity of 5.72 × 10 -4  μg H+/ml*min was found. Studies of the metabolic activity of microorganisms in experiments involving a combination of mineralised activated sludge,    B.   laterosporus    BT271  and phenol at three concentrations (5 mg/l, 250 mg/l and 1000 mg/l) showed the highest value for dehydrogenase activity in the variant with average phenolic concentration (up to 6.39 × 10 -6  μg H+/ml*min. The results proved the detoxification potential of    B.   laterosporus    BT271  when different concentrations of phenol were present. The combination of a mineralised activated sludge and selected highly active biodegrading    B.   laterosporus    BT271  showed valuable properties of detoxification and metabolic activity and keep these potentials up to 1000mg/l phenol.
