Fungal Biotechnology: Industrial Applications and Market Potential provides a comprehensive and holistic review on the uses of filamentous fungi in food, agriculture, and pharmaceutical industries. In addition to genetic and metabolic engineering approaches for heterologous proteins production in fungi, the book focuses on fungi as a source of bioactive compounds like enzymes, polysaccharides, alkaloids, glycoproteins, and phytohormones. It describes recent trends in the use of fungi for solid waste management and its subsequent conversion into value added products.

As a complete guide on the broad uses of microfungi in different industrial sectors while maintaining a sustainable environment, this book is a beneficial resource for students, researchers, and scientists as an effective means of imparting knowledge on the current trends and future perspectives in the field of fungal biotechnology.
