“…Indeed, TBT directly promotes adipocyte differentiation in vertebrate cells in vitro, likely acting upon peroxisome proliferator-activated (PPAR) γ and retinoid X (RXR) receptors (27,28,(35)(36)(37)(38)(39)(40). The possibility that TBT might directly affect microbial physiology is supported by studies in bacteria, fungi, and other environmental microbial communities (41)(42)(43)(44)(45)(46)(47)(48)(49). Variable levels of microbial susceptibility to TBT have been linked to differences in TBT adsorption, bioaccumulation, enzymatic transformation, efflux and other adaptations (47,(50)(51)(52)(53)(54)(55)(56)(57)(58).…”

“…However, the complexity of processes involved in biological degradation of xenobiotics creates the issue for deep investigation focusing on various aspects of that problem [ 8 , 9 ]. The microbiological potential of the contaminated ecosystem [ 10 ], accessibility of additional nutrients and oxygen [ 11 ], and bioavailability of pollutants [ 12 ] are the examples of factors which have strong impacts on biodegradation efficiency.…”

“…It has several applications, such as the production of PVC, agrochemicals, glass, textile, etc. ( Antizar-Ladislao, 2008; Cruz et al., 2015 ). The most relevant application of TBT is its use as a component of antifouling paints ( Pain and Cooney, 1998 ).…”
