Abstract

DNA isolated from a greenhouse soil (Nanjing, Jiangsu Province, China) was suitable for PCR amplification of gene segment coding for the 16S rRNA. Diverse PCR products were characterized by cloning and sequencing, and analysis of bacterial colonies showed the presence over 26 phyla. The most bacteria belonged to Proteobacteria, Actinobacteria, Gemmatimonadetes, Acidobacteria and Planctomycetes. Furthermore, after the enrichment procedure of DBP-degrading microorganisms, 4 strains were isolated from the soil sample with di-n-butyl phthalate (DBP) biodegradability, and they were identified to be Rhizobium sp., Streptomyces sp., Pseudomonas sp. and Acinetobacter sp. Analysis of the degradation products by LC-MS led to identification of metabolites of DBP in strain LMB-1 (identified as Rhizobium sp.) which suggests that DBP was degraded through β-oxidation, demethylation, de-esterification and cleavage of aromatic ring.
