“… Summary of the major metabolic pathways for the aerobic assimilation of styrene and toluene known in fungi (bold lines) compared to those in bacteria (dotted lines) composed after Holland et al (1993); Cox (1995); Weber et al (1995); Prenafeta Boldú et al (2001) and O'Leary et al (2002). Numbers associated with each pathway identify the fungi, named according to the updated identifications from Table 1, that have been shown to perform the particular transformation: (1) Phialophora sessilis CBS 238.93; (2) Clonostachys rosea CBS 102.94; (3‐5) Cladophialophora spp., including strains CBS 114326 (3), CBS 110553 (4), and CBS 110551 (5); (6) Exophiala sp.…”

“…This biodegradation mechanism is characteristic in eukaryotic organisms and it is widespread among fungal taxa (Cerniglia et al, 1978). Detailed study of fungal aromatic hydrocarbon oxidation has focused on zygomycetes of the genus Cunninghamella (Holland et al, 1993;Muncnerova & Augustin, 1994;Zhang et al, 1996), which have been proposed as models for the metabolism of xenobiotics in humans (Smith & Rosazza, 1974). The degradation of hydrocarbons via cometabolic conversion to carbon dioxide and water is typically performed by the lignin-degrading white-rot fungi.…”

The biodegradation of aromatic hydrocarbons by fungi has traditionally been considered to be of a cometabolic nature. Recently, however, an increasing number of fungi isolated from air biofilters exposed to hydrocarbon-polluted gas streams have been shown to assimilate volatile aromatic hydrocarbons as the sole source of carbon and energy. The biosystematics, ecology, and metabolism of such fungi are reviewed here, based in part on re-evaluation of a collection of published hydrocarbon-degrading isolates obtained from authors around the world. Incorrect or outdated identifications in original publications are corrected by ribosomal DNA sequence analysis. The data show that many volatile-hydrocarbon-degrading strains are closely related to, or in some cases clearly conspecific with, the very restricted number of human-pathogenic fungal species causing severe mycoses, especially neurological infections, in immunocompetent individuals. Neurochemistry features a distinctive array of phenolic and aliphatic compounds that are related to molecules involved in the metabolism of aromatic hydrocarbons. Hence, there may be physiological connections between hydrocarbon assimilation and certain patterns of mammalian infection.

E s t e r s a n d A m i d e s f r o m A c t i v a t e d A l c o h o l s u s i n g M a n g a n e s e ( I V ) D i o x i d e Abstract: Manganese(IV) dioxide can be used in conjunction with sodium cyanide in THF-methanol or in methanol alone for the direct conversion of activated alcohols into methyl esters. Ethyl and isopropyl esters can also be prepared. Similarly, use of manganese(IV) dioxide and sodium cyanide in THF containing ammonia or primary amines can be used to convert alcohols into the corresponding amides. Several activated alcohols and one non-activated alcohol example are reported.
