The rising pollution of the environment with endocrine disrupting compounds has increased interest in searching for new, effective bioremediation methods. Particular attention is paid to the search for microorganisms with high degradation potential and the possibility of their use in the degradation of endocrine disrupting compounds. Increasingly, immobilized microorganisms or enzymes are used in biodegradation systems. This review presents the main sources of endocrine disrupting compounds and identifies the risks associated with their presence in the environment. The main pathways of degradation of these compounds by microorganisms are also presented. The last part is devoted to an overview of the immobilization methods used for the purposes of enabling the use of biocatalysts in environmental bioremediation.
环境中内分泌干扰化合物的污染日益加剧，促使人们越来越关注寻找新的、有效的生物修复方法。特别关注具有高降解潜力的微生物的寻找及其在降解内分泌干扰化合物中的应用。在生物降解系统中，越来越多地使用固定化微生物或酶。本综述介绍了内分泌干扰化合物的主要来源，并确定了它们在环境中存在所带来的风险。还介绍了微生物降解这些化合物的主要途径。最后一部分概述了用于使生物催化剂能够用于环境生物修复的固定化方法。
