Phthalate acid ester hydrolases are of promise for the microbial degradation of phthalate acid ester plasticizers, however, only a small number of PAE hydrolases have been characterized. Here, the authors report the structural and functional characterization of MehpH, a monoalkyl phthalate (MBP) hydrolase that degrades MBP to phthalic acid and butanol.
