Biotechnological Applications of Fungal Enzymes with Special Reference to Bioremediation

Abstract

Fungi are among the most important organisms that have enormous potential for industrial biotechnology. The fungal system can not only employ in wastewater treatment, but some of important by-products with high value can be produced. Various valuable molecules such as antibiotics, immunosuppressive agents, and enzymes can be produced. Fungal enzymes have advantage of being stable with less loss of activity. Due to which fungal enzymes can be effectively used for various applications. However major limitation in using enzymes involves high cost used in downstream processing. It results increase in overall cost of the process.
