Thirty‐eight bacterial strains were isolated from waste water of olive oil mills, olives and soil in chemically defined media containing the pigment of these wastes as sole carbon source. Most of the organisms were Pseudomonas spp. Four of the six phenolic acids associated with polymeric pigments in olive oil waste degradation were used by three strains. Only one Pseudomonas strain was able to use five acids.
