“…Nonylphenols (NPs) are precursors of the non-ionic surfactants alkylpenhol and NP ethoxylates, used widely in detergents, paints, pesticides, personal care products and plastics. They are not biodegraded and persists for a long time in activated sludges and effluents of wastewater treatment plants (Krupi nski et al 2014). Nonylphenols have been identified as endocrine disruptors, in animals and humans (Soto et al 1991), are cytotoxic, induce apoptosis (Lepretti et al 2015) and alter the immune response of lymphocytes and macrophages in humans (Lee et al 2017).…”

Summary Alicycliphilus is a promising candidate for participating in the development of novel xenobiotics bioremediation processes. Members of the Alicycliphilus genus are environmental bacteria mostly found in polluted sites such as landfills and contaminated watercourses, and in sewage sludges from wastewater treatment plants. They exhibit a versatile metabolism and the ability to use oxygen, nitrate and chlorate as terminal electron acceptors, which allow them to biodegrade xenobiotics under oxic or anoxic conditions. Pure cultures of Alicycliphilus strains are able to biodegrade some pollutants such as industrial solvents (acetone, cyclohexanol and N‐methylpyrrolidone), aromatic hydrocarbons (benzene, toluene and anthracene), as well as polyurethane varnishes and foams, and they can even transform Cr(VI) to Cr(III). In addition, Alicycliphilus has also been identified in bacterial communities involved in wastewater treatment plants for denitrification, and the degradation of emerging pollutants such as triclosan, nonylphenol, N‐heterocyclic aromatic compounds (indole and quinoline), and antibiotics (tetracycline and oxytetracycline). This work summarizes the current knowledge on the Alicycliphilus genus, describing its different metabolic characteristics, focusing on its xenobiotic biodegradation abilities and examining the distinct pathways and molecular bases that sustain them. We also discuss the progress made in genetic manipulation and ‘omics’ analyses, as well as Alicycliphilus participation in novel bioremediation strategies.

“…The xenoestrogen 4-nonylphenol (NP) is the final degradation product of nonylphenol polyethoxylates (NPEOs) (Krupinski et al, 2014). NP is regarded to be an endocrine disrupting chemical (EDC), which could be involved in declines in semen quantity and quality observed amongst adult men (Schiffer et al, 2014;Tohyama et al, 2015).…”

4-Nonylphenol (NP) is a ubiquitous environmental chemical with estrogenic activity. Our aim was to test the hypothesis that pubertal exposure to NP leads to testicular dysfunction. Herein, 24 7-week-old rats were randomly divided into four groups and treated with NP (0, 25, 50, or 100 mg/kg body weight every 2 days for 20 consecutive days) by intraperitoneal injection. Compared to untreated controls, the parameters of sperm activation rate, curvilinear velocity, average path velocity, and swimming velocity were significantly lower at doses of 100 mg/kg, while sperm morphological abnormalities were higher, indicating functional disruption and reduced fertilization potential. High exposure to NP (100 mg/kg) resulted in disordered arrangement of spermatoblasts and reduction of spermatocytes in seminiferous tubules, while tissues exhibited a marked decline in testicular fructose content and serum FSH, LH, and testosterone levels. Oxidative stress was induced by NP (50 or 100 mg/kg) as evidenced by elevated MDA, decreased SOD and GSH-Px, and inhibited antioxidant gene expression (CAT, GPx, SOD1, and CYP1B1). In addition, NP treatment decreased proportions of Ki-67-positive cells and increased apoptosis in a dose-dependent manner. Rats treated with 100 mg/kg NP exhibited significantly increased mRNA expression of caspase-1, -2, -9, and -11, decreased caspase-8 and PCNA1 mRNA expression, downregulation of Bcl-2/Bax ratios and upregulation of Fas, FasL, and p53 at the protein and mRNA levels. Taken together, NP-induced apoptosis, hormonal deficiencies, and depletion of fructose potentially impairs spermatogenesis and sperm function. p53-independent Fas/FasL-Bax/Bcl-2 pathways may be involved in NP-induced oxidative stress-related apoptosis. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

“…On the other hand, the widespread contamination of drinking water with alkylphenols has led to a concerted effort to find efficient treatment methods. Alkylphenols such as 4‐nonylphenol (4‐NP), 4‐ tert ‐butylphenol (4‐t‐BP), 4‐ tert ‐octylphenol (4‐t‐OP), 4‐butylphenol (4‐BP), 2‐ sec ‐butylphenol (2‐s‐BP), and 4‐chlorophenol (4‐CP) have originated from the sources of detergents . These chemicals are prevalent and persistent groundwater contaminants, which are all known or suspected human carcinogens, mutagens, or toxins .…”

In the present study, a fungal strain isolated from the Antarctic soil was identified as Penicillium sp. CHY-2 based on its 5.8S rRNA gene sequence analysis. Further, evaluated its biodegradation ability towards 13 different toxic compounds at low (4°C) and medium (15°C) temperature conditions using high pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC). Among 13 compounds, strain CHY-2 effectively degraded the 7 compounds at
