2.4- dichlorophenol Phanerochaete

Valli K, MH Gold (1991) Degradation of 2,4-dichlorophenol by the lignin-degrading fungus Phanerochaete chrysosporium. J Bacteriol 173 345-352. 

Trihydroxybenzene is an intermediate in the degradation by Phanerochaete chrysosporium of vanillate, 2,4-dichlorophenol, 2,4-dinitrophenol, and 2,7-dichlorodibenzo[l,4]dioxin (Chapter 6, Sections 6.5.2,6.8.2 and 6.3.2, respectively), and its degradation is mediated by a dioxygenase that carries out intradiol ring fission (Rieble et al. 1994). 

Both 2,4-dichlorophenol and 2,4,5-trichlorophenol may be degraded by the white-rot fungus Phanerochaete chrysosporium by a complex pathway...
