Resumo(s)
Pentachlorophenol (PCP) bioremediation by the fungal strains amongst the cork-
colonising community has not yet been analysed. In this paper, the co- and
direct metabolism of PCP by each of the 17 fungal species selected from this
community were studied. Using hierarchical data analysis, the isolates were
ranked by their PCP bioremediation potential. Fifteen isolates were able to
degrade PCP under co-metabolic conditions, and surprisingly Chrysonilia
sitophila, Trichoderma longibrachiatum, Mucor plumbeus, Penicillium janczewskii
and P. glandicola were able to directly metabolise PCP, leading to its complete
depletion from media. PCP degradation intermediates are preliminarily discussed.
Data emphasise the signiWcance of these fungi to have an interesting potential
to be used in PCP bioremediation processes.
