Abstract

Hydroxyphenylureas are the first main metabolites formed in the environment from pesticide and biocide urea compounds. Because fungi release potent exocellular oxidases, we studied the ability of laccases produced by the white rot fungus, T. versicolor, to catalyze in vitro the transformation of five hydroxyphenylureas, to identify transformation pathways and mechanisms. Our results establish that the pH of the reaction has a strong influence on ...
