Abstract
Spent sawdust cultures of the Shiitake mushroom (Lentinus edodes) metabolised pentachlorophenol in soil to a significant (P < 0.05) extent with 60.5, 57.3 and 44.4 % disappearance recorded for strains LE2, 866 and R26, respectively. Addition of H2O2 markedly enhanced pentachlorophenol metabolism. Analysis of metabolites by GC/MS showed that pentachloroanisole was a metabolic product. These results suggest that there is potential for commercial application in bioremediation.
