Summary of article
Many Fungi have useful properties. As such, they are utilized by using their metabolism and metabolites produced. There are many important uses of fungi, including food processing, drug production and bio-control agents, to name a few.
Yeast are used to ferment sugar into carbon dioxide and alcohol. Cereal grains are fermented to produce beer, while wine and hard cider is fermented from grapes and apples respectively. Sake is produced by fermenting rice, using Aspergillus oryzae and then an additional fermentation step utilizing bacteria and yeasts. Bread is produced by fermenting the sugar to produce carbon dioxide, which rises the bread. In addition, many food and drinks are produced by fermentation, such as soy sauce and other soybean products. Another use of fungi is to process cheese. Some cheeses are inoculated with Penicillium roquefortii to impart a strong and pungent flavour. …show more content…
So it is produced in large-scale fermentation vats.
Fungi are also used in biotechnology; they are easily cultured, occupy little space, multiply rapidly and have a short life cycle. Therefore, many fungi are used frequently for genetics, cell biology and molecular biology. Antibiotics, medical drugs and some other chemicals are also produced using
