Over the last decade considerable progress has been made in white
biotechnology research and further major scientific and
technological breakthroughs are expected in the future. The first
large-scale industrial applications of modern biotechnology have
been in the areas of food and animal feed production
(agricultural/green biotechnology) and in pharmaceuticals
(medical/red biotechnology). In contrast, the productions of
bioactive compounds through fermentation or enzymatic conversion
are known as industrial or white biotchnology. The fungi are
ubiquitous in nature and have been sorted out from different
habitats, including extreme environments (high temperature, low
temperature, salinity and pH); and associated with plants
(Epiphytic, Endophytic and Rhizospheric). The fungal strains are
beneficial as well as harmful for human beings. The beneficial
fungal strains may play important roles in the agricultural,
industrial, and medical sectors. The fungal strains and its product
(enzymes, bioactive compounds, and secondary metabolites) are very
useful for industry (e.g., the discovery of penicillin from
Penicillium chrysogenum). This discovery was a milestone in the
development of white biotechnology as the industrial production of
penicillin and antibiotics using fungi moved industrial
biotechnology into the modern era, transforming it into a global
industrial technology. Since then, white biotechnology has steadily
developed and now plays a key role in several industrial sectors
providing both high value nutraceutical and pharmaceutical
products. The fungal strains and bioactive compounds also play an
important role in environmental cleaning. This volume covers the
latest research developments related to value-added products in
white biotechnology through fungi.
