  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Recent Trends in Mycological Research

Part of the book series: Fungal Biology ((FUNGBIO))

Abstract

Fungi are an incredible group of organisms that are grouped under eukaryotes. The organism falls under the fungi was earlier viewed as damaging and pathogenic organisms that infect and kill plants and animals, but as the time flew and researches were being conducted, dark ages of fungi have fallen away and their benefits got the spotlight. Now days, this group of organism has been using in the fields agriculture, environment and industries. The fungal species ease the life of mankind have been distributed in the wide range of habitats including soil, water having moderate and extreme conditions like hypersalinity, extreme temperatures, pressure and heavy metals accumulated areas which were being used in the field of environment and industries. In environment, this group of organism can be applied for clean pollutants (heavy metals, oil, xenobiotics including DDT, pesticides, halogenated hydrocarbon and synthetic azo dyes) as they are good decomposer of pollutants of the ecosystem created by the human’s activity. On the other hand, fungi can also be applied in the industries as they have a capability of producing several types of extra-cellular digestion enzymes and secondary metabolites which can be used in the several foods, pharmaceuticals, textiles, detergents and paper and pulp industries. This chapter detailed the perspectives of fungi in the field of environment and industrial sectors.
