Suleiman et al. use “reverse discovery” approach to identify four bacterial species that were enriched on the UV filter octocrylene, two of which (Mycobacterium agri and Gordonia cholesterolivorans) can form biofilms on its surface. They also report that cultivation for 10 days with Mycobacterium agri decreases octocrylene concentration by 19%.
