The abilities of the white-rot fungiChrysosporium lignorum, Trametes versicolor, Phanerochaete chrysosporiumandStereum hirsutumto mineralize 3,4-dichloroaniline, dieldrin and phenanthrene were investigated.S. hirsutumdid not mineralize any of the test compounds but the other strains partly mineralized them all to varying degrees. The relative degradation rates per unit biomass wereT. versicolor>C. lignorum>P. chrysosporium. Evidence was obtained for the production of water-soluble metabolic intermediates but no attempt was made to characterize these. It was found that mineral salts-glucose medium supplemented with trace mineral nutrients, vitamins and 1.5 mm3,4-dimethoxybenzyl alcohol (veratryl alcohol) resulted in the highest mineralization rate. At no time in these experiments was there detectable extracellular ligninase (lignin peroxidase) activity.
