Biodegradation of the endocrine-disrupting compound bisphenol F by <i>Sphingobium yanoikuyae</i> DN12.

ABSTRACT: Bisphenol F (BPF) is an emerging environmental pollutant widely present in surface water and wastewater systems. Microbial activity is crucial in driving its degradation, offering a potential avenue for mitigating its environmental impact. Although the degradation pathway for BPF has been identified in various bacteria, the biodegradation mechanisms remain unclear. In this study, we isolated a highly efficient BPF-degrading strain of Sphingobium yanoikuyae DN12, which could utilize BPF as the sole carbon and energy source for growth, from a river sediment in Anhui Province, China. Through ultra-performance liquid chromatography high-resolution mass spectrometry (UPLC-HRMS) analysis, we found that oxidation and hydrolysis are key steps for BPF biodegradation.
