The ability of white rot fungi from different ecophysiol. groups (primary wood-destroying saprotroph Trametes hirsuta, secondary wood-destroying saprotroph Steccherinum ochraceum, litter saprotroph Crucibulum laeve, and humic saprotroph Agrocybe praecox) to degrade phthalic acid esters (PAEs) was studied. It was shown that diethylhexyl phthalate (DEHP) with longer and branched hydrocarbon chains was more rapidly biodegraded by wood-destroying saprotrophs such as T. hirsuta and S. ochraceum, with an efficiency of more than 99%. Di-Bu phthalate (DBP), which is less hydrophobic with shorter hydrocarbon units, was most efficiently transformed by the litter saprotroph C. laeve (up to 96.5%). Di-Et phthalate (DEP) proved to be the most toxic to all fungi. T. hirsuta showed the greatest resistance to elevated DEP concentrations in the medium. It has been shown that fungi destroy PAEs with the formation of various metabolites, depending on the composition of the multienzyme complex of the fungus. Among the secondary metabolites, ionol, an antioxidant formed by fungi when PAEs is added to the medium, was found. This study involved multiple reactions and reactants, such as 2-Ethylhexyl benzoate (cas: 5444-75-7Reference of 5444-75-7).
2-Ethylhexyl benzoate (cas: 5444-75-7) belongs to esters. Esters are widespread in nature and are widely used in industry. In nature, fats are in general triesters derived from glycerol and fatty acids. Esters are responsible for the aroma of many fruits. Because of their lack of hydrogen-bond-donating ability, esters do not self-associate. Consequently, esters are more volatile than carboxylic acids of similar molecular weight.Reference of 5444-75-7
