| Abstract | This study provides physical and analytical evidences for the efficient utilization of most of the commercially available phthalate diesters by Achromobacter denitrificans SP1, coupled with the demonstration of a plausible degradation pathway. We tested 17 phthalate diesters [viz., ditridecyl phthalate, diisodecyl phthalate (DIDP), di(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate (DEHP), di-n-octyl phthalate (DOP), bis(2-ethylhexyl)isophthalate (BEIP), dihexyl phthalate (DHP), dibutyl phthalate (DBP), dicyclohexyl phthalate (DCHP), diphenyl phthalate (DPP), benzyl butyl phthalate (BBP), diamyl phthalate (DAmP), diisobutyl phthalate, dipropyl phthalate, dially phthalate (DAlP), diethyl phthalate, diethyl terephthalate and dimethyl phthalate (DMP)], and their major degradation products for the degradation efficiency of A. denitrificans SP1 in Wx medium. It efficiently utilized 16 phthalate diesters (except DAlP), and showed general preference toward phthalate diesters with longer side chains (utilized ~10mM in 48h) than those with shorter side chains and with cyclic structures (utilized ~5mM in 48h) accompanied by a sharp decline of pH to ~5 from initial 7. In a detailed study, about 37mM (~15g/L) DEHP was utilized in 48h. Moreover, A. denitrificans SP1 produced reddish-pink pigment when DIDP, DEHP, DOP, DHP, DBP, DIBP, BBP, DAmP, DCHP, DPP or DMP was supplied in the medium. From the available evidences, it seems that its putative phthalate diester degradation pathway contains the following check points: phthalate diesters, phthalate monoesters, phthalate (4,5-dioxygenase), protocatechuate (3,4-dioxygenase), and TCA cycle. Nonspecificity toward utilization of phthalate diesters, especially with greater specificity to phthalate diesters having longer side chain, and the characteristic sticky reddish-pink (or colorless) cell clump formation in the presence of phthalate diesters makes A. denitrificans SP1 a very attractive candidate to be employed as an efficient biofactory in waste water treatment processes. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
