Abstract
In this study, diisodecyl phthalate (DIDP) was efficiently degraded by Bacillus sp. SB‐007. The optimal conditions for DIDP (100 mg l^–1^) degradation by Bacillus sp. SB‐007 in a mineral salts medium were found to be pH 7.0 at 30 °C, stirring at 200 rpm. The specific rate of DIDP degradation was found to be concentration dependent with a maximum of 4.87 mg DIDP l^–1^ h^–1^. DIDP was transformed rapidly by Bacillus sp. SB‐007 with the formation of monoisodecyl phthalate and phthalic acid, which subsequently degraded further. These results highlight the potential of this bacterium for removing DIDP contaminated waste in the environment. (© 2009 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)
