is a filamentous fungus that is a potential resource for industrial enzymes. It is a versatile fungal cell factory that can synthesize various industrial enzymes such as cellulases, -glucosidases, hemicellulases, laccases, lipases, proteases, -galactosidases, tannases, keratinase, cutinases, and aryl alcohol oxidase. has shown the potential to utilize low-cost substrates such as wheat bran, rice straw, sugarcane bagasse, rice bran, coir pith, black gram residue, and chicken feathers to produce enzymes cost-effectively. has also been known as a model organism for the production of heterologous enzymes. Several studies reported genetically engineered strains of for the production of different enzymes. Native as well as heterologous enzymes of have been employed for various industrial processes.
