Title: Concentration of extracellular superoxide radical as a function of time during lignin degradation by the fungus Coriolus versicolor

Abstract

During a 9 day fermentation of lignin by C. versicolor, the concentration of superoxide radical in the extracellular medium of the submerged culture rose and fell, reaching a maximum after 2 and 6 days of incubation, and a minimum at 3 and 8 days. The results indicate that the extracellular superoxide radical is involved in lignin degradation, but there was no evidence that it is an initial attacking agent. (Refs. 9).
