Fungi play an important role in the solution to important global problems. Making use of processes and goods that are based on fungi can help promote sustainability by making the most efficient use of natural resources. Fungi stand apart from other organisms due to their extraordinary capacity to generate organic compounds. They are necessary for the psychological and physiological well-being of people worldwide. They are excellent producers of vitamins, pigments, hydrolytic enzymes, biofuels, organic acids, polysaccharides, and secondary metabolites such as antibiotics, anticancer treatments, hypocholesterolemic pharmaceuticals, and immunosuppressants. Other secondary metabolites include biofuels. In addition, polysaccharides are produced by them. We provide a condensed explanation of the significance of secondary metabolites in a variety of industries, such as the pharmaceutical industry, the food industry, the textile industry, and the transportation industry. In addition to providing a better understanding of biosynthetic regulation and the possibilities of genetic engineering, improved laboratory processes for the selection of nontoxigenic fungal strains have permitted the manufacture of larger quantities of safe commercial items. The significance of fungi in industrial settings is the topic that will be investigated in this review.
真菌在解决重要的全球问题中发挥着重要作用。利用基于真菌的工艺和产品有助于通过最有效地利用自然资源来促进可持续发展。真菌因其产生有机化合物的非凡能力而有别于其他生物。它们对于全世界人们的心理和生理健康至关重要。它们是维生素、色素、水解酶、生物燃料、有机酸、多糖以及抗生素、抗癌治疗药物、降胆固醇药物和免疫抑制剂等次生代谢产物的优秀生产者。其他次生代谢产物包括生物燃料。此外,它们还能产生多糖。我们简要阐述了次生代谢产物在制药、食品、纺织和运输等各种行业中的重要性。除了能更好地理解生物合成调控和基因工程的可能性外,改进的非产毒真菌菌株筛选实验室方法已使得能够生产大量安全的商业产品。本综述将探讨真菌在工业环境中的重要性。
