Bioremediation of Lindane by Wood-Decaying Fungi

The object of this paper is to study the ability of four white-rot fungi (Trametes versicolor, Hypoxylon fragiforme, Chondrostereum purpureum, and Pleurotus ostreatus) and one brown-rot fungus (Gloeophyllum trabeum) to degrade the organochlorine insecticide lindane in liquid cultures. The evaluation...
