Nonylphenols (NPs) are persistent organic pollutants (POPs) with estrogenic properties that can perform endocrine-disrupting activities. By using high-concentration NP as environmental selection pressure, one NP biodegradation strain named NPF-4 was isolated and purified from estuary sediment of the Moshui River. It was identified as Penicillium simplicissimum (PS1) by appearance and 18S rDNA analysis. In different culture situations, the strain mass growth and biodegradation ability were evaluated. Within 4-n-nonylphenol (4-n-NP) initial concentration of 20 mg L⁻¹, it could be degraded 53.76, 90.08, and 100.00 % at 3, 7, and 14 days, respectively. In feeding experiments, it showed that NPF-4 could use 4-n-NP as a sole carbon source. Based on seven products/intermediates detected with GC and LC-MS, a novel biopathway for 4-n-NP biodegradation was proposed, in which sequential hydroxylation, oxidation, and decarboxylation at terminal β-C atom may occur for 4-n-NP detoxification, even complete mineralization in the end.
