Biodegradation of ferulic acid, by an endophytic fungus Colletotrichum gloeosporioides TMTM-13 associated with Ostrya rehderiana Chun, was explored in this study. Ferulic acid was completely degraded by TMTM-13 as its initial concentration was lower than 400 mg L -1 . Generally, the initial concentration of ferulic acid and fungal biomass of TMTM-13 kept synchronously growing up as the concentration was lower than 400 mg L -1 . Fungal biomass reached a maximum of almost 1.177 g L -1 under concentrations of 400-450 mg L -1 . HPLC-MS analysis indicated that ferulic acid ultimately degraded to vanillin, vanillic acid, acetovanillone, and dihydroconiferyl alcohol by TMTM-13. This study was the first report about an endophytic fungus associated with O. rehderiana Chun that has great potential for practical application in ferulic acid contaminated environments.
