About this document
International Biodeterioration Biodegradation: Rhodococcus by ZIHAN ZHANG is a document available to read on EtoBox.
The study investigates the biodegradation of di-(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) by a newly isolated strain, Rhodococcus sp. LW-XY12, which can degrade 96.91% of DEHP within 32 hours. The research outlines the metabolic pathway for DEHP degradation, involving de-esterification and β-oxidation, and identifies key genes and enzymes responsible for this process. The findings enhance understanding of microbial capabilities to remediate phthalate acid esters in contaminated environments.
