It is worth drawing attention to the significance of other issues. In natural ecosystans, other microorganisms including bacteria are almost always present and it has been shown that, in experiments using [7,10- C]benzo[a]pyrene, incubation for 215 d mth Bjerkandera sp. strain BOS55 alone resulted in the formation of 13.5% C02 and 61% of labeled metabolites in the...

VP (E.C. 1.11.1.46) was first described in liquid cultures of Pleurotus eryngii growing on peptone as nitrogen source [82, 83] and Bjerkandera sp. [84], VP is a heme containing structural hybrid between MnP and LiP, as it is able to oxidize Mn2+, veratryl alcohol, simple amines, phenolic, nonphenolic and high molecular... 

The degradation of diazepam, a tranquilizer drug, has also been assessed with Bjerkandera sp. Rl, B. adusta and P. chrysosporium [4] however, none of the WRF was able to completely degrade this compound, obtaining degradation yields between 39% and 57% after 14 days of incubation. 

The complete degradation of sulfamethoxazole was also reported within 14 days with P. chrysosporium, Bjerkandera sp. R1 and B. adusta [4], although, contrary to the reports of enzymatic transformation, metabolites were not identified. Partial removal (from 30% to 55%) of sulfamethoxazole from activated-sludge-mixed liquor and the effluent of a WWTP was demonstrated at bench scale within 5 days with P. chrysosporium propagules entrapped in a granular bioplastic formulation [25]. This approach was also successful in the partial elimination of other kinds of antibiotics, eg., ciprofloxacin (see below) and the macrolide erythromycin.

The decolorization of Reactive Red 2 (azo dye) and Reactive Blue 4 by immobilized fungus Bjerkandera sp. strain BOL 13 was studied [56]. Birch wood was used as a carrier material and circular disks were used in the continuous rotating biological contactor. The experiment results showed the fungus to be able to decolorize mixtures of both dyes efficiently. Decolorization was found to be approximately same at 50 and 100 mg/L of dye stuff (96 and 94%, respectively). When the concentration was increased to 200 mg/L, decolorization decreased to 81%.

The wood-rotting fungi of genus Bjerkandera produce a number of chlorinated phenols and derivatives (398,1677). 

The biosynthesis of the white rot fungus Bjerkandera adusta chlorinated aryl metabolites has been extensively studied by Silk and others (1687, 2428-2431), an abbreviated version of which is shown in Scheme 4.11 for 3-chloro- and 3,5-dichloro-4-methoxybenzaldehyde.
