The pathways of biotransformation of 4-fluorobiphenyl (4FBP) by the ectomycorrhizal fungus Tylospora fibrilosa and several other mycorrhizal fungi were investigated by using (19)F nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy in combination with (14)C radioisotope-detected high-performance liquid chromatography ((14)C-HPLC). Under the conditions

1. Little is known about metabolism of xenobiotics by earthworms, despite their importance in soil ecotoxicity testing. Normal earthworms and earthworms treated with antibiotics to ensure inhibition of gut microflora were exposed to two model xenobiotic compounds, 4-fluoroaniline and 4-fluorobiphenyl
