环境中雌激素的微生物降解

Microbial degradation of estrogens in the environment

摘要:

环境中的雌激素是一类重要的环境内分泌干扰物, 微生物降解是去除环境雌激素的主要途径。通过归纳已报道的雌激素降解细菌、总结其降解雌激素的机制、分析雌激素降解途径以及其他真核微生物的雌激素降解作用4个方面, 概括阐述了雌激素的微生物降解作用, 并对未来的研究方向提出展望。

Abstract:

Estrogens in the environment are important environmental endocrine disrupting chemicals, and the major way to remove them is through microbial degradation. This paper reviews four aspects of the microbial degradation of estrogens, including the reported estrogen-degrading bacteria, degradation mechanisms, the estrogen degradation pathway and estrogen degradation by eukaryotic microorganisms. In the end, future research directions of microbial degradation of estrogens are suggested.
