In recent years,biodegradation of bisphenols under aerobic conditions has made great progress,and many microbes,such as bacteria,fungi,algae,etc.have had good biodegradability.It is also found that halogenated bisphenols can be dehalogenated and further degraded under anaerobic conditions.The biodegradation characteristics and pathways of bisphenols are summarized,providing reference for further study on the biodegradation mechanism of bisphenols.
