Phthalates are widely used as plasticizers in many industrial products due to their chemical properties that confer flexibility and durability to building materials, lubricants, solvents, insect repellents, clothing, cosmetics, being widely distributed in the environment. Besides persistent, they are also considered endocrine-disrupting compounds (EDCs), causing a global concern about their release into the environment, once they can alter the reproductive and endocrine health of humans systems. Under natural conditions, photodegradation and hydrolysis rates of phthalates are often very slow; therefore, microbial degradation is a natural way to treat these pollutants. In this context, three bacterial consortia (CMS, GMS and GMSS) were isolated from environmental samples from the Santos Estuarine System (SES) and were able to grow on diethyl-phthalate (DEP) as an only carbon source. From the GMSS consortium, three different strains were isolated and identified asBurkholderia cepacia,Pseudomonas koreensisandRalstonia pickettiiby molecular and mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF-Biotyper) techniques. Considering there are no reports about Ralstonia genus on phthalates degradation, this strain was chosen to proceed the kinetics experiments.Ralstonia pickettiirevealed a great ability to degrade DEP (300 mg/L) in less than 24 h. This is the first report implicatingR. pickettiiin DEP degradation.
