Biodegradation of bisphenol A by cultured cells of Caragana chamlagu.
The biological degradation of 2,2-bis(4-hydroxyphenol)propane (1; bisphenol A, BPA), a representative endocrine disruptor, was studied with plant-cultured cells of Caragana chamlagu. An initial BPA concentration of 425 microM in an aqueous solution was degraded by C. chamlagu at 25 degrees C for 2 days in the dark, and two intermediates were then completely dissipated after 10 days.
