Significant vanillin degradation occurred only in soil amended with 9% montmorillonite and not in soil amended with 9% kaolinite or in soil without addition of clay minerals. Progressively decreasing amounts of vanillin were mineralized in the montmorillonite-amended soil with increasing acidification with H/sub 2/SO/sub 4/, and complete inhibition of mineralization occurred at a soil pH of 1.6. 16 references, 1 table.
