Degradation of organic pollutants by the white rot basidiomycete Trametes trogii

The ability of the white rot basidiomycete Trametes trogii (strain BAFC 463) to degrade in vitro concentrations of 250-500 ppm of nitrobenzene and anthracene was analyzed. Within 12-24 days, more than 90% of the organic pollutants added to the fungal cultures were removed, as demonstrated by gas-liq...
