Abstract: In order to further study the microbial remediation of major PAEs pollutants in soil, a strain, named as AS001, capable of simultaneously degrading dibutyl phthalate (DBP) and Di-(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) was isolated from facility vegetable soil by culture enrichment method. The strain could utilize DBP and DEHP as the sole source of carbon and energy. Based on the morphology, physiological characteristic and 16S rDNA sequence analysis, AS001 was identified as Arthrobacter sp. and the degradation characteristics of phthalate acid esters were investigated under different rotating speeds, pH, initial concentrations, inoculation amount and temperature. The result showed that the optimal degradation condition of strain AS001 was: the rotation speed 175 r·min-1, pH 7, initial concentration 100 mg·L-1, inoculum size (V/V) 4%, temperature 35 ℃, and the degradation rate of DBP was higher than that of DEHP under different conditions. This study provided a certain theoretical basis for the environmental conditions of PAEs pollution remediation in soil in this area.
