Brazil houses over 10% of the total number of known species on Earth, with a great diversity of plants and fungi. The collection, isolation, identification and conservation of filamentous fungi with relevance to agriculture, pharmaceutical, food and biotechnological industries in Biological Resource Centers (CRBs) is very important to the development of a nation's scientific and technological infrastructure. In Brazil, 36 fungal collections are registered in the database of International Collections. Several federal and state programs have encouraged the formation of a researcher's network in order to study natural resources and the nation's biodiversity. In this context, Brazilian researchers have been on the frontiers of knowledge, investigating the enzymatic systems from native filamentous fungi with potential for biomass degradation and biotechnological application. In this review, we address recent progress in Brazilian fungal research, focusing on the identification and study of fungi and enzymes with potential for biomass degradation and application in bioenergy.
巴西拥有地球上已知物种总数的 10%以上，拥有丰富的植物和真菌多样性。在生物资源中心（CRBs）中，对与农业、制药、食品和生物技术产业相关的丝状真菌进行收集、分离、鉴定和保护，对一个国家的科技基础设施的发展非常重要。在巴西，有 36 个真菌收藏在国际收藏数据库中注册。一些联邦和州的项目鼓励形成一个研究人员网络，以研究自然资源和国家的生物多样性。在这种情况下，巴西研究人员一直在知识的前沿，研究具有生物量降解和生物技术应用潜力的本土丝状真菌的酶系统。在这篇综述中，我们讨论了巴西真菌研究的最新进展，重点是鉴定和研究具有生物量降解和应用于生物能源潜力的真菌和酶。
