Abstract
White biotechnology refers to the use of living cells and/or their enzymes to create industrial products that are more easily degradable, require less energy, and create less waste during production. The fungal white biotechnology includes biodiversity of fungi from different habitats, including extreme environments (high temperature, low temperature, salinity, and pH) and associated with plants (epiphytic, endophytic, and rhizospheric) and their industrial applications in diverse sectors. This chapter covered conclusion of all three book content of recent advancement in white biotechnology through fungi. The concluding remark envisioned the future beneficial role of fungi with the use of new biotechnological techniques with potential application in agriculture, industry, food and feed processing, as well as clean environments for future sustainable systems.
