Fungi have been important in both ancient and modern biotechnological processes. Processes and products that utilize fungi include baking, brewing, and the production of antibiotics, alcohols, enzymes, organic acids, and numerous pharmaceuticals. The advent of recombinant DNA technology and large scale genomics analysis has placed yeasts and filamentous fungi in the forefront of contemporary commercial applications. The term 'mycotechnology' is introduced here to describe the enormous impact of fungi on biotechnology.
真菌在古代和现代生物技术过程中都很重要。利用真菌的过程和产品包括烘焙、酿造以及抗生素、酒精、酶、有机酸和众多药物的生产。重组DNA技术和大规模基因组学分析的出现，使酵母和丝状真菌处于当代商业应用的前沿。这里引入“真菌技术”一词来描述真菌对生物技术的巨大影响。
