Book Chapter Description

Fungi are a group of organisms that is a treasure to applications in biotechnology. Exploration of fungal biodiversity along with devising ways to maintain the collection of living fungi bears invaluable economic potential paving way for the discovery of organisms with new industrial utility that have the potential for new products. Human beings have been utilizing the benefits of a large number of fungal products manufactured using industrial processes. Metabolites and enzymes are some of such popular products apart from food. Utilized conditions that suit for the fungal growth comprise physical and chemical conditions which play a vital role in the proper growth and formation of the desired product(s) by the fungal cells. The present chapter presents some of these product formations by a variety of fungi as well as their production on large scale. The fungal products are exceptional in their own way and there are generally no other known methods for their production. Processes using certain fermentation techniques are described by a few of the metabolites produced by industry.
