Biological Degradation of Phthalates: From Bioremediation to Plastic Waste Valorization
ChemSusChem, Volume 19, Issue 7, 14 April 2026.Phthalic acid isomers play a key role in the plastics industry, but pose significant environmental and health concerns. This review explores the microbial biodegradation of phthalates and their esters, focusing on bacterial enzymes, catabolic pathways, and cellular uptake mechanisms of phthalates.
