Various phosphonic acids are widely distributed in oceanic waters; in particular, methylphosphonic acid (namely methylphosphonate) is believed to be responsible for global methane production. To discuss the microbial degradation of phosphonic acids, we investigated the utilization of phosphonic acid compounds by cultures of marine bacteria, Phaeobacter sp., Ruegeria sp. (Rhodobacterales), and Thalassospira sp. (Rhodospirillales). These bacterial cultures were able to grow on methylphosphonic acid as well as on the tested alkyl-, carboxy-, aminoalkyl-, and hydroxyalkyl-phosphonic acid compounds. Cell yields and growth rates of Ruegeria and Thalassospira cultures grown on methyl-, ethyl-, propyl-, and butyl-phosphonic acid compounds tended to decrease with increasing alkyl chain length. In contrast, Phaeobacter sp. grew well on such alkyl-phosphonic acids. Our results suggest that these marine bacteria, which exhibit varied utilization, are involved in microbial degradation of various phosphonic acid compounds.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/femsle\/fnac065","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,7,30]],"date-time":"2022-07-30T02:59:45Z","timestamp":1659149985000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":8,"title":["Utilization
