Extremophilic Fungi and Their Role in Control of Pathogenic Microbes

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Recent Trends in Mycological Research

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

Abstract

Extremophilic fungi are a group of fungi with distinct and well-developed uniqueness to strive in the extremes of pressure, temperature, salinity, desiccation, and pH. They produce and biosynthesize active compounds with protective and antimicrobial activities. Fungi extremophiles have been harnessed for a number of biotechnological, medical, industrial, and environmental applications. Here, we succinctly illustrate their exploration as biocontrol agents through strategies such as “antibiosis, induced systemic resistance, preemptive colonization and siderophore production.” Enzymes and proteins produced from these fungi are used in pharmaceutical industries owing to their ability to withstand extreme conditions. Extremophilic fungi have shown great prospects in diverse applications; hence, exploring their use in the control of pathogenic microbes presents a solution to the rising and associated agricultural challenges (antimicrobial resistance) and with a promising outlook in the control of phytopathogens.
