摘要
The pentachloronitrobenzene (PCNB) biodegradation by four soil micromycetes, Mucor racemosus,Sporothrix cyanescens, Paecilomyces farinosus and Pithomyces chartarum was studied after 24 h and 120 h. Quantitation of PCNB and identification of its metabolites were monitored by LC analysis of the culture media on a 5 μm Adsorbosphere HS C18 column with methanol/water (93:7) pH 3.5 (1.0 ml/min) and UV detection at 301 nm. The extraction process of PCNB and its metabolites was performed on an Extrelut® cartridge with ethyl acetate as eluent. Strains were able to degrade PCNB with high efficiency. Five metabolites were identified : pentachloroaniline, tetrachloroaniline, pentachlorothiophenol, pentachlorothioanisole and pentachloroanisole. Based on our findings, three metabolic pathways were retained.
