Biodegradation of crystal violet by low molecular mass fraction secreted by fungus

J Biosci Bioeng. 2009 Nov;108(5):421-4. doi: 10.1016/j.jbiosc.2009.05.001.

Abstract

Biodegradation of crystal violet by white rot fungus Pleurotus ostreatus BP in rice straw solid-state medium mostly depended on low molecular mass fraction (LMMF) and the hypothetical metabolic pathways of crystal violet by LMMF was proposed by the biodegradation of crystal violet and by the deduced six metabolites formed.
