Developments in Fungal Phytase Research: Characteristics and Multifarious Applications

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Progress in Mycology

Abstract

Phytases, a class of phosphatases, catalyse the stepwise removal of soluble phosphate from phytates. Plants contain phytates, which are a major organic form of phosphorus. Phytates act as an antinutrient and is not utilizable by monogastrics. Human and animal diets can therefore be supplemented with phytases to ameliorate their nutritional status. Phytases also have potential utility in aquaculture, plant growth promotion, soil amendment and environmental pollution control and as therapeutics. Among microbes, fungi are the predominant phytase producers with potential applicability in various areas due to their characteristic features of broad substrate spectrum and specificity and broad pH and temperature ranges for their activities. This chapter focuses on the various types, methods of production, characteristics and potential utilities of fungal phytases. Developments in fungal phytase research in India are specially highlighted. This chapter focuses on reviewing the significant work done on fungal phytases in India.
