Phthalic acid esters (PAEs) are known as the most widely used plasticizer as well as one of the ubiquitously distributed emerging pollutants. Biodegradation and bioremediation via application of PAEs-degrading microbes is promising. In this study, a novel marine microbe, Gordonia hongkongensis RL-LY01, was isolated from mangrove sediment showing high di-(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) degradation capacity. Strain RL-LY01 could degrade a wide range of PAEs and the degradation kinetics of DEHP followed the first-order decay model. Meanwhile, good environmental adaptability, preference to alkaline conditions and good tolerance to salinity and metal ions was shown. Further, metabolic pathway of DEHP in strain RL-LY01 was proposed, with di-ethyl phthalate, phthalic acid, benzoic acid and catechol as intermediates. Additionally, one known mono-alkyl phthalate hydrolase gene (mehpH) was identified. Finally, the excellent performance during bioremediation of artificial DEHP-contaminated saline soil and sediment indicated strain RL-LY01 employs great application potential for the bioremediation of PAE-contaminated environments.
