In order to degrade the phthalic acid accumulated in the environment and relieve the obstacle effect of tobacco continuous cropping caused by the accumulation of phthalic acid in the soil. In this study, phthalate degrading bacteria B3 is screened from continuous cropping tobacco soil. The results of biochemical identification and 16sDNA comparison show that the homology between degrading bacterium B3 and <i>E</i><i>n</i><i>terobacter</i> sp. is 99%. At the same time, the growth of <i>Enterobacter</i><i> </i><i>horma</i><i>e</i><i>chei</i><i> </i>subsp. B3 and the degradation of phthalic acid under different environmental conditions are studied. The results show that the environment with a temperature of 30&#730;C, PH of 7, and inoculation amount of not less than 1.2%, which is the optimal growth conditions for <i>Enterobacter</i> sp. B3. In an environment with a concentration of phthalic acid not exceeding 500 mg/L, <i>Ent</i><i>e</i><i>robacter</i> sp. B3 has a better effect on phthalic acid degradation, and the degradation rate can reach 77% in 7 d. The results of indoor potting experiments on tobacco show that the degradation rate of phthalic acid by <i>Enterobacter</i> B3 in the soil is about 45%, which can reduce the inhibitory effect of phthalic acid on the growth of tobacco seedlings. This study enriches the microbial resources for degrading phthalic acid and provides a theoretical basis for alleviating tobacco continuous cropping obstacles. %K Phthalic Acid %K Degrading Bacteria %K Rhizosphere Soil %U http://www.scirp.org/journal/PaperInformation.aspx?PaperID=132605
