Abstract
The phenolic components of waste olive waters are degraded by the whit e-rot basidiomycete Lentinus edodes. Tyrosol is converted by cell-free preparation of the fungus into a dimeric tetracyclic ketone, derived from a Pummerer's ketone-like intermediate. Conversely, the alcohol co rresponding to the above ketone was isolated after 7 days from whole c ells of Lentinus edodes incubated with tyrosol.
