| Research Abstract |
The degradation of bisphenol A(BPA) was demonstrated with hyper lignin-degrading white-rot fungus Phanerochaete sordida YK-624. BPA was oxidatively polymerized under ligninolytic condition. On the other hand, BPA was hydroxylated under non-ligninolytic condition. It is suggested that cytochrome P450 is involved in this hydroxylation. High manganese peroxidase-producing transformant was able to eliminate BPA-contaminated soil by approximately 90% for 5 day-incubation.
