Carbon dioxide production is a widely used measure of "mineralization" or the
complete oxidation of the parent compound. Under ideal conditions,
mineralization is proportional to the amount of contaminant present and can be
used to ...

As in soil treatment with Phanerochaete chrysosporium, a drawback with fungal
technologies is that the mechanism of chlorophenol degradation is poorly
understood and frequently does not result in complete mineralization. It is
interesting to ...
