Abstract
In real polluted soils a wide variety of recalcitrant pollutants with several chemical white-rot fungi such as Pleurotus ostreatus, Irpex lacteus, Trametes versicolor, Phanerochaete chrysosporium, Lentinus edodes, Coriolus versicolor, Cyathus stercoreus, Heterobasidion annosum, and Ceriporiopsis subvermispora degrade the cell wall components simultaneously and have PCB-degrading capabilities. Hydroxylated and methoxylated PCBs, chlorobenzoates, and chlorobenzyl alcohols were observed as transformation products that specify that the fungal species have capabilities to oxidize and decay the aromatic moiety of PCBs in lands. Some white-rot fungi such as Phlebia brevispora, Bjerkandera adusta, Pycnoporus cinnabarinus, Phanerochaete magnolia, and Dichomitus squalens have already demonstrated their prospective for the elimination of PCBs. Lignin peroxidase (LiP, EC 1.11.1.14), manganese peroxidase (MnP, EC 1.11.1.13), and laccase (Lac, EC 1.10.3.2) enzymes possessed by WRF are involved in the oxidation of a wide range of organopollutants.
