Abstract
The dependence of the degree of fluorene and fluoranthene degradation by the fungus Pleurotus ostreatus D1 on the culture medium composition has been studied. Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) have been transformed in Kirk’s medium (under conditions of laccase production) with the formation of a quinone metabolite and 9-fluorenone upon the use of fluoranthene and fluorene as substrates, respectively. More complete degradation with the formation of an intermediate metabolite, phthalic acid that has undergone subsequent utilization, has occurred in basidiomycete-rich medium (under the production of both laccase and versatile peroxidase). The formation of phthalic acid as a metabolite of fluoranthene degradation by lignolytic fungi has been revealed for the first time. The data allow the supposition that both extracellular laccase and laccase on the mycelium surface can participate in the initial stages of PAH metabolism, while versatile peroxidase is necessary for the oxidation of the formed metabolites. A scheme of fluorene metabolism by Pleurotus ostreatus D1 is suggested.
