Bioremediation of polychlorinated cyclodiene pesticides by basidiomycetes and bacteria

短孢隐脉菌对持久性有机污染物狄氏剂具有降解作用，在其培养物中检测到9-羟基狄氏剂的代谢产物。硫丹是一种有机氯杀虫剂，其代谢物硫丹硫酸盐在环境中具有持久性，被认为具有毒性。在培养的毛栓菌中，硫丹的降解率较高，而硫丹硫酸盐的累积率较低。这些结果表明，多毛类真菌具有多种降解硫丹和硫丹硫酸盐的途径，因此在硫丹生物修复中具有作为生物催化剂的巨大潜力。

Phlebia brevispora degraded dieldrin, one of the Persistent Organic Pollutants, and 9-hydroxy-dieldrin was detected as a metabolite in the cultures of P. brevispora. Endosulfan, an organochlorine insecticide, and its metabolite endosulfan sulfate, are persistent in environments and are considered toxic. High degradation of endosulfan and low accumulation of endosulfan sulfate were found in cultures of the Trametes hirsuta. These results suggest that T hirsuta has multiple pathways for the degradation of endosulfan and endosulfan sulfate ; thus having great potential for use as a biocatalyst in endosulfan bioremediation.
