Eight of these strains belong to the genus <jats:italic>Pseudomonas<\/jats:italic>; the remaining three strains are <jats:italic>Hydrogenophaga pseudoflava<\/jats:italic> BOE3, <jats:italic>Gordonia terrae<\/jats:italic> BOE5, and <jats:italic>Cupriavidus oxalaticus<\/jats:italic> BOE300. In addition to 2-BE, all isolated strains were able to grow on 2-ethoxyethanol and 2-propoxyethanol, ethanol, <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>-hexanol, ethyl acetate, 2-butoxyacetic acid (2-BAA), glyoxylic acid, and <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>-butanol. Apart from the only gram-positive strain isolated, BOE5, none of the strains were able to grow on the nonpolar ethers diethyl ether, di-<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>-butyl ether, <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>-butyl vinyl ether, and dibenzyl ether, as well as on 1-butoxy-2-propanol. Strains <jats:italic>H. pseudoflava<\/jats:italic> BOE3 and two of the isolated pseudomonads, <jats:italic>Pseudomonas putida<\/jats:italic> BOE100 and <jats:italic>P. vancouverensis<\/jats:italic> BOE200, were studied in more detail. The maximum growth rates of strains BOE3, BOE100, and BOE200 at 30\u00a0\u00b0C were 0.204\u00a0h<jats:sup>\u22121<\/jats:sup> at 4\u00a0mM, 0.645\u00a0h<jats:sup>\u22121<\/jats:sup> at 5\u00a0mM, and 0.395\u00a0h<jats:sup>\u22121<\/jats:sup> at 6\u00a0mM 2-BE, respectively. 2-BAA, <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>-butanol, and butanoic acid were detected as potential metabolites during the degradation of 2-BE. These findings indicate that the degradation of 2-BE by the isolated gram-negative strains proceeds via oxidation to 2-BAA with subsequent cleavage of the ether bond yielding glyoxylate and <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>-butanol. Since <jats:italic>Gordonia terrae<\/jats:italic> BOE5 was the only strain able to degrade nonpolar ethers like diethyl ether, the degradation pathway of 2-BE may be different for this strain.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1007\/s10532-020-09900-3","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,4,30]],"date-time":"2020-04-30T12:02:42Z","timestamp":1588248162000},"page":"153-169","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":14,"title":["Isolation and characterization of 2-butoxyethanol degrading bacterial strains"],"prefix":"10.1007","volume":"31","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2797-3331","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Christine","family":"Woiski","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7865-2880","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Daniel","family":"Dobslaw","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7273-2962","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Karl-Heinrich","family":"Engesser","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,4,30]]},"reference":[{"key":"9900_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"86","DOI":"10.1006\/taap.1998.8410","volume":"150","author":"L Aasmoe","year":"1998","unstructured":"Aasmoe L, Winberg JO, Aarbakke J (1998) The role of liver alcohol dehydrogenase isoenzymes in the oxidation of glycolethers in male and female rats.
