Zusammenfassung:	The OECD Manometric Respirometry procedure, which is outlined, was used to determine the ready biodegradability of bisphenol A. The microbial inoculum consisted of activated-sludge mixed liquor collected from the wastewater-treatment plant in Midland, MI. Rapid and extensive biodegradation of bisphenol A was observed at concentrations of 7 and 25 mg/l, and the material was classified as readily biodegradable according to the current OECD guidelines. The extent of biodegradation determined from net oxygen consumption was confirmed by the measurement of similar extents in mineralization and dissolved organic carbon removal.
