Abstract
para-Nonylphenol (NP) showed a dose-dependent inhibition against the cell growth of Bacillus subtilis, Micrococcus luteus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Staphylococcus aureus at 5–100 μM. However, other typical plastic-derived endocrine disruptors such as bisphenol A and di-2-ethylhexyl phthalate (DEHP) did not significantly affect the cell growth of these bacteria at 5–100 μM. The NP-induced cell growth inhibition was restored when concomitantly supplemented with lipophilic antioxidants such as α-tocopherol and β-carotene, but not with hydrophilic antioxidants, ascorbic acid and (−)-epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG). NP also suppressed in a dose-dependent manner cellular oxygen consumption and glucose-induced proton extrusion of these bacteria at 10–100 μM. Both effects were prevented when added with α-tocopherol and β-carotene, but not with ascorbic acid and EGCG. The significance of these results is discussed from the viewpoint of environmental microbiology and a possible biochemical mechanism of the inhibitory effect of NP is suggested.
