This study has been undertaken to determine the biological degradation potential of plasticizer (DEHP). DEHP and its different metabolites are found to affect humans, including its potential effects on reproduction. The microorganisms play the major roles in the phthalates degradation in the environment under various conditions. One of the promising DEHP degrading bacteria designated as strain T-1 was selected for the present study, and find out the optimum condition for its maximum activity with halotolerance, and wide range of temperature and pH identified as Achromobacter xylooxidant, with degradation potential of more than 90%.
