Degradation of Diuron by Phanerochaete chrysosporium: Role of Ligninolytic Enzymes and Cytochrome P450

Table 2

Distribution of residual diuron and its metabolites between culture filtrates and mycelial extracts of P. chrysosporium after 5 days of cultivation.

Compound	Residual diuron and metabolites after 5 days (μg)
	Culture filtrate	Mycelial extract	Total
Diuron	71.3±3.3	11.0±0.8	82.3
DCPMU	18.5±0.5	5.6±0.1	24.1
DCPU	1.1±0.1	0.37±0.1	1.5

An amount of 175 μg of diuron was added at zero time in each culture.
