Herein, an efficient TPHP-degrading marine bacterium, Pseudomonas abyssi RL-WG04, was isolated from mangrove sediments, which could degrade 95.22% of 100 mg\/L TPHP within 120 h. RL-WG04 exhibited good tolerance to varied environmental conditions, maintaining over 70% TPHP degradation percentages (100 mg\/L, 7 d) across 20\u201350 \u00b0C, pH 7.0\u20139.0, and salinity 2.0\u20134.0% (NaCl, w\/v). Organic solvents (p-xylene, biphenyl, toluene and ethyl acetate, 0.5% v\/v) had a negligible impact, whereas metal ions (Mn2+, Fe3+, Ca2+, Cu2+, Mg2+, Zn2+, and Co2+) strongly inhibited degradation, especially at 1 mM. Under optimized conditions, TPHP degradation by RL-WG04 followed the improved Gompertz model (R2 = 0.99927). Metabolite identification indicated that RL-WG04 transformed TPHP into phenol but failed to utilize phenol for growth because of the phenol 2-monooxygenase deficiency. Nevertheless, the constructed consortia of RL-WG04 and Pseudomonas sp. RL-LY03 (phenol-degrading bacterium) achieved complete TPHP degradation and cell proliferation. Additionally, RL-WG04 could efficiently remove TPHP (25 mg\/kg) from clay and sandy mangrove sediments with 100% and 90.04% removal percentages, respectively. Overall, this work provides novel insights into the fate of TPHP and a potential approach for its remediation.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/toxics14040280","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,3,26]],"date-time":"2026-03-26T13:50:15Z","timestamp":1774533015000},"page":"280","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Biodegradation of Triphenyl Phosphate by a Novel Marine Bacterium Pseudomonas abyssi RL-WG04: Characterization, Metabolic Pathway, Bioremediation and Synergistic Metabolism"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"14","author":[{"given":"Min","family":"Shi","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Coastal Agricultural Sciences, Guangdong Ocean University, Zhanjiang 524088, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Danting","family":"Xu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Coastal Agricultural Sciences, Guangdong Ocean University, Zhanjiang 524088, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1393-1608","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"John L.","family":"Zhou","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Science and Engineering, University of Nottingham Ningbo China, Ningbo 315100, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yang","family":"Jia","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Life and Environmental Science, Wenzhou University, Wenzhou 325035, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Hanqiao","family":"Hu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Coastal Agricultural Sciences, Guangdong Ocean University, Zhanjiang 524088, China"},{"name":"South China Branch of National Saline-Alkali Tolerant Rice Technology Innovation Center, Zhanjiang 524088, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Xingyu","family":"Jiang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Coastal Agricultural Sciences, Guangdong Ocean University, Zhanjiang 524088, China"},{"name":"South China Branch of National Saline-Alkali Tolerant Rice Technology Innovation Center, Zhanjiang 524088, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0001-6756-5538","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Yanyan","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Coastal Agricultural Sciences, Guangdong Ocean University, Zhanjiang 524088, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,3,26]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","first-page":"1114","article-title":"Research and Application of Flame Retardants","volume":"53","author":"He","year":"2024","journal-title":"Liaoning Chem.
