Recent Advancements on the Role of Biologically Active Secondary Metabolites from Chaetomium

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Recent Developments on Genus Chaetomium

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

Abstract

Chaetomium is one of the largest genera of saprobic ascomycetes with more than 300 species worldwide; the most common species are C. globosum and C. elatum. Many species in this genus are well known to produce a wide range of natural products; most of the products have a wide spectrum of biological activities, whilst some are toxigenic. Currently, there are more than 300 known bioactive metabolites produced by different Chaetomium spp. In this chapter, the most biologically important toxic metabolites of a variety of Chaetomium species are discussed. Secondary metabolites from Chaetomium have potential biotechnological applications with a market value beyond those in human health, medicine, industrial production, food, or agricultural industries.
