Degradation of 2,4-dinitrotoluene by the lignin-degrading fungus Phanerochaete chrysosporium.

Appl. Environ. Microbiol. 58(1) , 221-8, (1992)

Under ligninolytic conditions, the white rot basidiomycete Phanerochaete chrysosporium mineralizes 2,4-dinitrotoluene (I). The pathway for the degradation of I was elucidated by the characterization of fungal metabolites and oxidation products generated by li...
