AI Article Synopsis

  • Marine microorganisms, particularly from marine fungi, make up over 90% of ocean biomass and showcase remarkable diversity due to their adaptability to extreme conditions.
  • Marine-derived fungi are valuable for biotransformations, contributing new enzymes for various high-value materials and processes.
  • This review examines the role of marine fungi in biotransformations and bioremediation, analyzing the chemical structure of substrates involved, with data up to September 2022.

Article Abstract

Marine microorganisms account for over 90% of ocean biomass and their diversity is believed to be the result of their ability to adapt to extreme conditions of the marine environment. Biotransformations are used to produce a wide range of high-added value materials, and marine-derived fungi have proven to be a source of new enzymes, even for activities not previously discovered. This review focuses on biotransformations by fungi from marine environments, including bioremediation, from the standpoint of the chemical structure of the substrate, and covers up to September 2022.
