Filamentous fungi are the most widely used eukaryotes in industrial and pharmaceutical applications. Their biotechnological uses include the production of enzymes, vitamins, polysaccharides, pigments, lipids and others. Marine fungi are a still relatively unexplored group in biotechnology. Taxonomic and habitat diversity form the basis for exploration of marine fungal biotechnology. This review covers what is known of the potential applications of obligate and marine-derived fungi obtained from coastal to the oceanic and shallow water to the deep-sea habitats. Recent studies indicate that marine fungi are potential candidates for novel enzymes, bioremediation, biosurfactants, polysaccharides, polyunsaturated fatty acids and secondary metabolites. Future studies that focus on culturing rare and novel marine fungi, combined with knowledge of their physiology and biochemistry will provide a firm basis for marine mycotechnology.
丝状真菌是工业和制药应用中使用最广泛的真核生物。它们的生物技术用途包括生产酶、维生素、多糖、色素、脂质等。海洋真菌在生物技术领域仍是一个相对未被充分探索的群体。分类学和栖息地多样性构成了海洋真菌生物技术探索的基础。这篇综述涵盖了从沿海到海洋、从浅水到深海栖息地获得的专性真菌和海洋来源真菌的潜在应用。最近的研究表明，海洋真菌是新型酶、生物修复、生物表面活性剂、多糖、多不饱和脂肪酸和次生代谢产物的潜在候选者。未来专注于培养稀有和新型海洋真菌，并结合其生理生化知识的研究，将为海洋真菌技术提供坚实的基础。
