Fungal Biotechnology
Course Structure
Fungi are eukaryotic microorganisms that include both unicellular and multicellular species. They have a worldwide distribution and a wide range of applications in diverse sectors, from environmental, food and medicine to biotechnological innovations. Some of these products are produced commercially while others are potentially valuable in biotechnology. Recombinant DNA technology, which includes yeasts and other fungi as hosts, has markedly increased markets for microbial enzymes. Molecular manipulations have been added to mutational techniques as a means of increasing titers and yields of microbial processes and in the discovery of new drugs. Moreover, the best is yet to come as genomes of additional species are sequenced at some level and gene and protein arrays become available.
