The fungus Amylomyces rouxii is a zygomycete, isolated from the paper industry, that tolerates and degrades pentachlorofenol (PCP), one of the most persistent and toxic xenobiotic found in the environment. PCP degradation by fungi was studied in liquid and solid state cultures. In solid state culture, using sugarcane bagasse as...
Amylomyces rouxii is a zigomycete, it was isolated from a paper industry effluent and has studied for pentachlorophenol (PCF) degradation, it has been reported that A. rouxii produces an extracellular phenoloxidase (tyrosinase) involved in the toxic degradation. This strain was used in the biochemistry and molecular studies of this work....
