ABSTRACT
Phthalate isomers are key intermediates in the biodegradation of pollutants including waste polyethylene terephthalate (PET) plastics and plasticizers. So far, an increasing number of phthalate isomer-degrading strains have been isolated, and their degradation pathways show significant diversity. In this paper, we comprehensively review the current status of research on the degrading bacteria, degradation characteristics, aerobic and anaerobic degradation pathways, and degradation genes (clusters) of phthalate isomers, and discuss the current shortcomings and challenges. Moreover, the degradation process of phthalate isomers produces many important aromatic precursor molecules, which can be used to produce higher-value derivative chemicals, and the modification of their degradation pathways holds good prospects. Therefore, this review also highlights the current progress made in modifying the phthalate isomer degradation pathway and explores its potential for high-value applications.
