Dibutyl phthalate (DBP) is a ubiquitous soil contaminant. We have investigated the sorption, degradation and residue of DBP in 20 types of agricultural soils and aimed to identify the major soil properties that dominate the fate of DBP. Sorption isotherms of DBP in all soils were fitted well with the Freundlich model. The sorption coefficient (K) varied between 3.99 and 36.1 mgL/kg. Path analysis indicated that 59.9% of variation in K could be explained by the combination of pH, organic carbon (OC) and clay content. Degradation of DBP in the 20 soils was well described by the first-order kinetic model, with half-lives (t) ranging from 0.430 to 4.99 d. The residual DBP concentration after 60 d of incubation (R) ranged from 0.756 to 2.15 mg/kg and the residual rates ranged from 3.97% to 9.63%. The K value was significantly positively correlated with t and R. Moreover, soil pH, microbial biomass carbon (C) and OC were identified as dominating factors that explained 84.4% of variation in t. The R data indicated 72.2% of its variability attributable to the combination of OC and C. The orders of the relative importance of dominating factors on the K, t and R were OC > pH > clay, C > pH > OC and OC > C, respectively. This work contributes to better understand the fate of DBP in soils and make scientific decisions about accelerating its dissipation in different soils.

Dibutyl phthalate (DBP) with teratogenicity, carcinogenesis, and mutagenesis, is a ubiquitous endocrine disruptor in the environment. The widespread usage of plastic mulch has resulted in a severe DBP pollution problem in agricultural soil. One of the most vital ways to mitigate the DBP pollution problem is to use DBP degrading bacteria to reduce the concentration of DBP in agricultural soil.

Due to the characteristics of long-term persistence, leading to extensive temporal and spatial distribution of the environmental pollutant dibutyl phthalate (DBP), analyzing of a large number of food and environment samples over a long period and at a high frequency must be necessary. It is of great significance to construct a simple, rapid, sensitive and high-throughput immunoassay method. For the first time, 8 different DBP hapten molecules were designed using computer simulation to provide DBP epitope informations from both conformation and electrostatic aspects for the target molecule.

Article Synopsis
- A new bioremediation material (BHF@DK-P3) combining humic acid, iron-modified corn stover biochar, and beneficial bacteria was developed to tackle contamination from DBP residues in black soils.
- The included microbiota, consisting of DBP-degrading and nutrient-solubilizing bacteria, formed a strong partnership that enhanced soil health and nutrient availability.
- The application of BHF@DK-P3 improved soil structure and nutrient levels, increasing available phosphorus by 21.45%, potassium by 12.54%, and nitrogen by 14.74%, while stabilizing microbial functions under DBP and pH stress.

Esterases that can function under extreme conditions are important for industrial processing and environmental remediation. Here, we report the identification of a salt- and solvent-tolerant esterase, Dhs82, from a soil metagenomic library. Dhs82 prefers short-chain p-nitrophenyl (p-NP) esters and exhibits enzymatic activity up to 1460 ± 61 U/mg towards p-NP butyrate.
