Utilizing Aerobic and Anaerobic Mesophilic Fungi for the Production of Multienzymes

Fungal multizymes play pivotal roles in nutrient acquisition, contributing to fungal pathogenicity. Mesophilic fungi, thriving in moderate temperatures, demonstrate adaptability to diverse environments. This chapter presents a comprehensive overview of fungal multizymes and their production and applications, emphasizing their multifunction. These enzymatic complexes, produced by fungi, exhibit a modular architecture, enabling a myriad of functions. Endophytic fungi, especially from the Ascomycota group, emerge as promising sources of industrial enzymes with wide-ranging applications. The molecular basis of enzyme production and screening studies for high-level producers are active research areas. The production of multienzyme complexes by aerobic and anaerobic fungi holds potential in biotechnological applications, including biofuel production.
