Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue (SI) calls for submissions of either original studies or literature reviews that describe the biotechnology and advanced applications of fungi which are beneficial or harmful to human beings. This SI will collect recent original research findings and critical reviews on current fungal biotechnology and the industrial application of fungi in the fields of cosmetics, food and pharmaceuticals. The topics of interest include but are not limited to:
- The application of fungi in all kinds of industries (e.g., scientific research, fermentation for cosmetic ingredients and pharmaceuticals, and food);
- Fungal secondary metabolites and metabolic flow analysis;
- Bioprospecting of novel fungi from specific environments;
- Mechanisms of pathogenic fungal infection and its prevention and treatment;
- Ecology, morphological and ultrastructural diversity of fungi;
- Cultivation and utilization of medicinal or edible mushrooms.
