Assessing the ability of white-rot fungi to tolerate polychlorinated biphenyls using predictive mycology [PDF]
Mycology, 2018 The aim of the present study was to assess the ability of different white-rot fungi to tolerate polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) using predictive mycology, by relating fungal growth inhibition to ligninolityc enzyme secretion.
