ResumoPhenol was coupled to produce 4,4′-dihydroxybiphenyl in an in vitro system containing phosphate buffer, H2O2, phenol, and horseradish peroxidase (EC 1.11.1.7). Other products were also detected. Preliminary experiments with an in vivo fungal fermentation system containing phenol as a substrate also resulted in the production of 4,4′-dihydroxybiphenyl. The results suggest that the biphenols are themselves substrates for the enzymes.
