White-rot fungi (WRF) and their lignin modifying enzymes (LME) can degrade a wide range of trace organic contaminants (TrOC), which are suspected to cause adverse health effects in humans and other biota. Recent studies have successfully applied either whole-cell WRF or their extracellular culture extract to remove TrOC from the aqueous phase. TrOC removal by a WRF system is dependent on a range of factors including molecular structure of the TrOC, fungal species and their specific LME, culture medium composition, and methods to enhance fungal degradation capacity; however, the specific relationships between these factors have not been systematically delineated. The aim of this review paper is to fill this important gap in the literature by critically analysing the ability of WRF and their LME specifically to remove TrOC. Mechanisms and factors governing the degradation of TrOC by WRF and their LME are reviewed and discussed.
白腐真菌（WRF）及其木质素修饰酶（LME）可以降解多种痕量有机污染物（TrOC），这些污染物被怀疑会对人类和其他生物群造成不良健康影响。最近的研究已经成功地应用了全细胞 WRF 或其细胞外培养提取物来从水相中去除 TrOC。WRF 系统去除 TrOC 取决于一系列因素，包括 TrOC 的分子结构、真菌种类及其特定的 LME、培养基组成以及增强真菌降解能力的方法；然而，这些因素之间的具体关系尚未系统地划定。本文综述的目的是通过批判性地分析 WRF 及其 LME 去除 TrOC 的能力来填补这一文献中的重要空白。综述并讨论了 WRF 和其 LME 降解 TrOC 的机制和因素。
