Transformation of Aromatic Compounds under the Action of the Basidiomycetes Phanerochaete sanguinea and Coriolus villosus

Article abstract of DOI:10.1007/BF00630618

The pathways of the transformation of some aromatic compounds by the basidiomycetes Phanerochaete sanguinea and Coriolus villosus have been studied.It has been shown that the degradation of these compounds has an oxidative nature and depends on the type of substituents in the benzene ring and the propane chain.A differencew has been found in the mechanisms of the reactions of the two fungi that is a consequence of the different compositions of their enzyme complexes.
