Microbial degradation of di-n butyl phthalate.
Microorganisms capable of degrading di-n-butyl phthalate (DBP) were isolated. The characteristics of DBP biodegradation by immobilized and free cells were investigated. The experimental results showed that the rate of DBP degradation of immobilized cells was higher than that of free cells.
