Abstract
Bisphenol A (BPA) is an emerging organic contaminant, which is widely used in plastic production and has estrogenic activity, but its accumulation in the environment is increasing due to the extensive use of BPA-containing products. In the natural environment, specific bacteria or fungi can metabolize BPA, converting it into non-toxic or less harmful substances. However, the biodegradation of BPA is a complex and variable process, with its efficiency being influenced by environmental conditions, microbial species, and their activities. This paper analyzes the efficiency of microbial BPA degradation, reviews current research, summarizes the mechanisms and metabolic pathways involved, and provides insights for future research directions.
