Di-(2-ethylhexyl) adipate, diethylene glycol dibenzoate and dipropylene glycol dibenzoate are commonly used plasticizers, but also known contaminants when they are released into the environment. Studies involving growing the common soil bacterium Rhodococcus rhodochrous and the yeast Rhodotorula rubra in the presence of the plasticizers and an additional carbon source have shown that these compounds are partially degraded, the breakdown products are toxic metabolites and some of them resist further degradation.In order to observe if the degradation pathway and the fate of the metabolites produced are similar in other microorganisms, and if the additional carbon source is needed for the degradation to occur, the plasticizers listed above wer...
