Abstract
The accelerated removal of bisphenols A and F (BPA, BPF) was observed in the rhizosphere sediment of Phragmites australis, while they persisted in the absence of P. australis. A BPA-degrading bacterium, Novosphingobium sp. strain TYA-1, and a BPF-degrading bacterium, Sphingobium yanoikuyae strain TYF-1, were isolated from the rhizosphere of P. australis. The results suggested that interactions between P. australis and these bacteria can accelerate the removal of bisphenols from sediment.
