Results are reported concerning biodegradation of 4-(1-nonyl)phenol by cultures of a Candida maltosa strain isolated from aerobic sludge samples collected at a depuration plant treating wastewaters from a textile industry. The yeast was able to utilize 4-(1-nonyl)phenol as a sole carbon and energy source. Preliminary attempts to draw the actual metabolic pathway evidenced microbial attack on the alkyl chain with the production of 4-acetylphenol. To the best of our knowledge this is the first report describing a microorganism capable of attacking nonylphenol in axenic culture and at the same time allowing for the identification of its degradation products.
本文报道了从一家处理纺织工业废水的净化厂采集的好氧污泥样品中分离出的一种麦芽糖假丝酵母菌株对4-(1-壬基)苯酚的生物降解结果。该酵母能够利用4-(1-壬基)苯酚作为唯一的碳源和能源。初步尝试绘制实际代谢途径，结果表明微生物对烷基链进行了攻击，并产生了4-乙酰苯酚。据我们所知，这是第一份描述在纯培养中能够攻击壬基酚并同时鉴定其降解产物的微生物的报告。
