Rich Efficient Short-Chain Phthalate Esters-Degrading Bacteria and Their Degradation Mechanisms in Recycled Plastic Wastewater Treatment Plant
Microbial degradation of phthalate esters (PAEs) is regarded as a highly promising green remediation strategy for PAE-contamination, but it still remains constrained by the scarcity of efficient microbial resources capable of degrading PAEs completely under complex conditions. This study systematically explored microbial resources resistant to dimethyl phthalate (DMP)/dibutyl phthalate (DBP) stress along with the putative degradation mechanisms in recycled plastic sewage treatment plants through high-throughput seq …
