Microbial aerobic degradation of 4-isopropylnitrobenzene by Sphingobium yanoikuyae strain SG1.
4-Isopropylnitrobenzene (4-IPNB) is a nitroaromatic compound commonly employed as an intermediate in pesticide synthesis and chemical manufacturing. Despite its potential environmental persistence and ecological risks, the microbial degradation pathway of 4-IPNB remains largely unknown. In this study, a Gram-negative b...
