| Research Abstract |
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.
