Biotechnology has emerged as one of the key environmentally safe
technologies for the future which enables use of biomass to develop
novel smart materials and to replace oil derived products. Fungi
are the most efficient producers of the enzymes needed for this
purpose and in addition they produce a plethora of secondary
metabolites, among which novel antibiotics can be found. Industrial
application and exploitation of the metabolic capacities of fungi
requires highly productive and robust gene expression systems,
which can be achieved by selection of appropriate species and
strain improvement. In this book we aim to summarize homologous and
heterologous gene expression systems of fungi for production of
enzymes and secondary metabolites. A broad overview on
requirements, challenges and successful applications shall serve as
a basis for further development of fungi as biotechnological
workhorses in research and industry.
