•TBOEP was degraded via ether cleavage, ester hydrolysis, and terminal oxidation.•Rhodococcous ruber was the key degrader of TBOEP and the transformation products.•Ottowia mainly contributed to TBOEP hydroxylation but not transformation products.•Low abundance community members were more active duri...
