Biodiversity and Biotechnological Applications of Industrially Important Fungi: Current Research and Future Prospects

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Industrially Important Fungi for Sustainable Development

Part of the book series: Fungal Biology ((FUNGBIO))

Abstract

One of the diverse groups of organisms after insects, fungi and its diversification are one of the debated topics among the mycologists because they are one important organism that plays various roles in the ecosystem. In the ecosystem, fungi exist in various environments like soil and water and in association with plants as well as animals in which they work as decomposers mainly. Earlier, fungi were under the black box and known as only pathogens but as the research was being conducted these organisms got the spotlight and began to be considered as beneficial. Nowadays, fungi are being used for industrial, agriculture, and environmental purposes like to make various products like dyes, medicines, and food; for protection and as nutrient provider; and for cleaning and removing harmful pollutants. In this chapter, the capabilities and their role in various fields have been explained.
