A Rhodococcus erythropolis 40 phi strain isolated from the soil utilizes 0.1-2% v/v dibutylphthalate (DBP) and di-(2-ethylhexyl)-phthalate (DEHP) as a single carbon source. The strain metabolizes DBP and DEHP via the following steps: diester --> phthalate --> benzoate --> p-hydroxybenzoate --> 3,4-dihydroxybvenzoate --> 3-ketoadipinate.
从土壤中分离出的红平红球菌40 phi菌株能够利用0.1-2%（v/v）的邻苯二甲酸二丁酯（DBP）和邻苯二甲酸二（2-乙基己基）酯（DEHP）作为单一碳源。该菌株通过以下步骤代谢DBP和DEHP：二酯→邻苯二甲酸→苯甲酸→对羟基苯甲酸→3,4-二羟基苯甲酸→3-酮己二酸。
