PVC biodeterioration and DEHP leaching by DEHP-degrading bacteria [PDF]
International Biodeterioration & Biodegradation, 2012 Newly isolated, not previously reported, di-(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP)-degraders were augmented to assess their role in polyvinyl chloride (PVC) shower curtain deterioration and DEHP leaching. The biofilms that developed on the surfaces of the bioaugmented shower curtains with Gram-positive strains LHM1 and LHM2 were thicker than those of the ...
