| Abstract | While degrading 2,4-dichlorophenol, two strains ofGloeophyllum striatum, a basidiomycetous fungus causing brown rot decay of wood, simultaneously produced 4-chlorocatechol and 3,5-dichlorocatechol. These metabolites were identified by comparing high-performance liquid chromatography retention times and mass spectral data with those of chemically synthesized standards. Under similar conditions, 3-hydroxyphthalic hydrazide was generated from phthalic hydrazide, a reaction assumed to indicate hydroxyl radical formation. Accordingly, during chemical degradation of 2,4-dichlorophenol by Fenton's reagent, identical metabolites were formed. Both activities, the conversion of 2,4-[U-14C]dichlorophenol into14CO2 and the generation of 3-hydroxyphthalic hydrazide, were strongly inhibited by the hydroxyl radical scavenger mannitol and in the absence of iron. These results provide new evidence in favor of a Fenton-type degradation mechanism operative inGloeophyllum. |
