Trichoderma spp.: Expanding Potential beyond Agriculture

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Trichoderma: Agricultural Applications and Beyond

Part of the book series: Soil Biology ((SOILBIOL,volume 61))

Abstract

Trichoderma is a genetically diverse group of fungi present in different ecological niches with multiple capabilities. Most of the Trichoderma spp. are reported as plant growth promoters and efficient biocontrol agents against various biotic and biotic stresses. Besides that genus Trichoderma is also utilized for bioremediation of heavy metal contamination, pesticide residue degradation, and industrial purposes for food, beverages, nanoparticles, and pharmaceuticals. These fungal species produce a vast variety of extracellular enzymes including cellulase, which play a key role in the degradation of complex polysaccharides and other organic compounds. The application of these enzymes into industries has been an economically and environmentally sustainable approach for producing high-quality products. As Trichoderma genomic sequences are now available in the public domain, it can be explored to search its wider applicability in the scientific arena. This chapter presents an overview of the application of Trichoderma beyond the agriculture areas like food industries, pharmaceuticals, beverages, bioremediation, and nanotechnology.
