| As a kind of environmental endocrine disrupting chemicals, phthalates are widely used as a plasticizer in applying the production and many aspects of life, therefore, it can be detected in the atmosphere, water, soil, and other environmental medium. Since its pollution universality and hazards to the whole ecosystem have drawn more and more attention, microbio degradation is considered to be the best way to remove phthalates from the environment. Advances in its microbio-degradation were summarized in this paper, in order to provide theoretical foundation to deeply investigate and discuss microbio-remediation of phthalates pollution, and outlook the studies on its microbio degradation prospects. |
