Isolation and Characterization of a Novel Diethylstilbestrol-Degrading Bacillus subtilis JF and Biochemical Degradation Metabolite Analysis

Diethylstilbestrol (DES) can adversely affect the immune system of developing fetuses or even elicit toxic responses such as nerve toxicity and genotoxicity in human beings, thereby warranting methods to remove DES from the environments. The present study characterized a novel DES-degrading Bacillus...
