Oxidation of Thianthrene by the Ligninase of Phanerochaete chrysosporium

Department of Molecular and Cell Biology, The Pennsylvania State University, University Park, Pennsylvania 16802

ABSTRACT

The oxidation of heterocyclic sulfur compounds reported to be part of the macrostructure of coal and petroleum was investigated. The oxidation of thianthrene solubilized in 10% dimethylformamide to thianthrene monosulfoxide in the presence of hydrogen peroxide was catalyzed by the ligninase from Phanerochaete chrysosporium.
