The white-rot fungus Phanerochaete chrysosporium has the ability to degrade a wide variety of structurally diverse organic compounds, including a number of environmentally persistent organopollutants. The unique biodegradative abilities of this fungus appears to be dependent upon its lignin-degradin
Biotransformation of the insecticide lindane by the white rot basidiomycete Phanerochaete chrysosporium has been investigated in liquid cultures. Some polar metabolites and carbon dioxide were produced from the pesticide. Among the metabolites identified were tetrachlorocyclohexene, tetrachlorocyclo
The ability of the white rot basidiomycete Phanerochaete chrysosporium to transform s-triazine herbicides has been investigated in laboratory experiments. The chlorinated metabolites formed during atrazine Ndealkylations were not further transformed by the fungus, whereas hydroxyatrazine was convert
## Abstract **BACKGROUND:** The ability of the fungi __Pleurotus ostreatus__ and __Phanerochaete chrysosporium__ to decolourize and detoxify 11 (monoβ, disβ, polyβ azo, and anthraquinonic type) dyes, widely used across the textile and leather industries, was tested. **RESULTS:** Different substrat
