Ferulic acid metabolism was studied in cultures of the white-rot fungus Pycnoporus cinnabarinus I-937. After 6 days of growth, during the secondary metabolism of the fungus, the concentration of vanillin in the culture medium reached a maximum of 64 mg l−1, corresponding to a molar yield of 27.5%. D...
