title: [The degradation of plasticizers by Rhodococcus erythropolis 40F].
abstract: A Rhodococcus erythropolis 40 phi strain isolated from the soil utilizes 0.1-2% v/v dibutylphthalate (DBP) and di-(2-ethylhexyl)-phthalate (DEHP) as a single carbon source. The strain metabolizes DBP and DEHP via the following steps: diester --> phthalate --> benzoate --> p-hydroxybenzoate --> 3,4-dihydroxybvenzoate --> 3-ketoadipinate.
