Degradation Potential of the Nonylphenol Monooxygenase of <i>Sphingomonas</i> sp. NP5 for Bisphenols and Their Structural Analogs

The nonylphenol-degrading bacterium <i>Sphingomonas</i> sp. strain NP5 has a very unique monooxygenase that can attack a wide range of 4-alkylphenols with a branched side chain. Due to the structural similarity, it can also attack bisphenolic compounds, which are very important materials...
