Plant metabolites have a great potential for limiting the spread of harmful fungi. However, a better understanding of the mode-of-action of these molecules and the defense systems developed by fungi to resist them, is needed to assess the benefits/risks of using them as antifungal treatment. White-rot fungi are excellent models in this respect, as they have adapted to the hostile habitat that is wood.

β-D-glucan has significant implications in regulating lipid metabolism and preventing diseases associated with lipid accumulation. Schizophyllan (SPG) from Schizophyllum commune fungus is a commercially important β-glucan with applications in the health food industry, pharmacy, and cosmetics. However, SPG was obtained by submerged culture of the wood-rotting and filamentous fungus S.

Woody biomass is anticipated to be a resource for a decarbonized society, but the difficulty of isolating woody components is a significant challenge. Brown-rot fungi, a type of wood rotting fungi, decompose hemicellulose particularly efficiently. However, there are few reports on the hemicellulases from brown-rot fungi.
