Degradation of pentachlorophenol by Mycena avenacea TA 8480--identification of initial dechlorinated metabolites.

چکیده
Cultures of the basidiomycete Mycena avenacea TA 8480 were shown to metabolize pentachlorophenol (PCP), 2,3,5,6-tetrachloro-p-hydroquinone (TeCHQ), and 2,3,5,6-tetrachloro-p-benzoquinone (TeCBQ). The first metabolite of the PCP degradation pathway was identified as TeCBQ which in a second reaction is reduced to the hydroquinone TeCHQ. Subsequently dechlorination of TeCHQ yielded 3,5,6-trichloro-2-hydroxy-p-benzoquinone (TCOHBQ). The specific degradation rate for PCP was 1.4 mg x g dry mycelia -1 x day-1. The initial dechlorination rate of TeCHQ was 5.9 mg x g dry mycelia-1 x hour-1. None of the compounds supported growth of the fungus.

Background: This study aimed to investigate the biosorption of pentachlorophenol on Aspergillus niger biomass as a method for removal of pentachlorophenol from aqueous solutions. Methods: Modified A. niger biomass with NaOH was used to absorb the pentachlorophenol. The impacts of various experimental parameters like primary pentachlorophenol concentration, pH of the solution, contact time, a...
متن کاملApplication of Electro-Fenton (EF) Process to the Removal of Pentachlorophenol from Aqueous Solutions
Pentachlorophenol (PCP) is a very hazardous compound which enters into the environment by industries such as refineries and petrochemicals. As its biological degradation is very slow, this use may cause the pollution of soils and groundwater; with the recent emergence of pentachlorophenol contamination as an important drinking water quality issue, finding an easy, economical, and useful method ...
متن کاملHydroxylation and dechlorination of chlorinated guaiacols and syringols by Rhodococcus chlorophenolicus.
We show that Rhodococcus chlorophenolicus PCP-I, a polychlorophenol degrader, also degrades various chlorine-substituted guaiacols (2-methoxyphenols) and syringols (2,6-dimethoxyphenols). The substrates investigated were tetrachloroguaiacol, 3,4,6- and 3,5,6-trichloroguaiacol, 3,5- and 3,6-dichloroguaiacol, trichlorosyringol, and 3,5-dichlorosyringol. The first step was a hydroxylation, probabl...
متن کاملBacterial Biotransformation of Pentachlorophenol and Micropollutants Formed during Its Production Process
Pentachlorophenol (PCP) is a toxic and persistent wood and cellulose preservative extensively used in the past decades. The production process of PCP generates polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins and polychlorinated dibenzofurans (PCDD/Fs) as micropollutants. PCDD/Fs are also known to be very persistent and dangerous for human health and ecosystem functioning. Several physico-chemical and biologi...
متن کاملDegradation of 2,4,6-trichlorophenol by Phanerochaete chrysosporium: involvement of reductive dechlorination.
Under secondary metabolic conditions, the lignin-degrading basidiomycete Phanerochaete chrysosporium mineralizes 2,4, 6-trichlorophenol. The pathway for the degradation of 2,4, 6-trichlorophenol has been elucidated by the characterization of fungal metabolites and oxidation products generated by purified lignin peroxidase (LiP) and manganese peroxidase (MnP). The multistep pathway is initiated ...
