Abstract

The degradation of veratrylglycerol-β-(pentachlorophenyl)ether, a model compound for lignin derived "Bound residues" by Phanerochaete chrysosporium, Corynebacterium equi and photosensitized riboflavin was studied. Whereas C. equi was not able to degrade the model compound, the other two systems decomposed the model compound to pentachlorophenol, 3,4-dimethoxybenzylalcohol and 3,4-dimethoxybenzaldehyde.
