Book synopsis

Filamentous Fungi Biorefinery starts on building knowledge to the reader on classification of filamentous fungi and presence and roles played in ecosystems. The importance of filamentous fungi is then further corroborated through a description of their present application in biotechnological processes supplying a wide range of value-added products. Knowledge on fungal biology is extended through discussion on structure and composition together with a description of growth potentialities of filamentous fungi in/on a wide range of substrates. The morphology of filamentous fungi is then described and its implications during integration in industrial processes discussed. The book then provides an overview on the use of filamentous fungi for the production of a wide range of value-added products including feed and food products, alcohols, organic acids, pigments, enzymes, antibiotics, and biopolymers. All provided state-of-arts are extended to a description of the present degree of application of filamentous fungi towards the production of those products using low-value substrates, identification of research gaps, and proposes on future research avenues. First book dedicated to the use of filamentous fungi for process development within waste management Discusses critically the transfer of research knowledge into industrial processes and marketable products Includes industrial application of filamentous fungi towards valorization of low-value substrates Provides up-to-date knowledge on research and application fields that can benefit from integration of filamentous fungi
