title: Streptomyces sp. strain isolated from river water has high bisphenol A degradability.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  We report the identification of the bisphenol A (BPA) biodegradability in Streptomyces sp. strain isolated from river water.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The water samples spiked with BPA (1 mg l(-1)) and the culture solution of Streptomyces sp. strain were placed at 30 degrees C for 10 days and were analysed by high-performance liquid chromatography. A half-life for BPA degradation was between 3 and 4 days. The removal rate of BPA was >90% for 10 days.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  These results show that the Streptomyces sp. strain isolated from river water has high BPA degradability.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  To our knowledge, this is the first report of BPA degradation by Streptomyces sp. strain.
