Integrated multi-omics investigations reveal the key role of synergistic microbial networks in removing plasticizer di-(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate from estuarine sediments
2021-03-25
Abstract excerpt
Di-(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) is the most widely used plasticizer worldwide with an annual global production of over eight million tons. Because of its improper disposal, endocrine-disrupting DEHP often accumulates in estuarine sediments in industrialized countries at sub-millimolar levels, resulting in adverse effects on both ecosystems and human beings. The microbial degraders and biodegradation pathways of...
