The roles of lignin peroxidase, manganese peroxidase, and laccase were inverstigated in the biodegration of pentachlorphenol (PCP) by several which rot fungi. The disappearance of pentachlorophenol from cultures of wild type strains, P. chrysosporium, Trametes sp. and of pentachlorophenol from cultures of wild type strains, P. cheysocporium, Trametes sp. and Pleurotus ap., was observed. The activities of mangnese peroxidase and laccase was detected in Trametes sp. and pleurotus sp. cultures. However, the activities showed that PCP was degraded under ligninolytic as well as nonligninoytic condicationg that lignin peroxidase, manganese peroxidase, and laccase are not essential in the biodegradation of PCP by white rot fungi.
