Research was conducted to investigate the effect of chemical functional groups, including the ether function and alkyl branches, on the biodegradation mechanisms and biodegradation rates of dibenzoate plasticizers. Biodegradation of 1,6-hexandiol dibenzoate, a potential green dibenzoate plasticizer, by Rhodococcus rhodochrous, was investigated in the presence of hexadecane as a primary carbon source. The metabolites, produced in the biodegradation process were detected using GC/MS and Fourier transform mass spectroscopy techniques. None of these metabolites were stable, with all tending to biodegrade over the course of the experiments. Biodegradation mechanisms were elucidated for 1,6-hexanediol dibenzoate and two commercial plasticizers, d...
