From the bench to the reactor: engineered filamentous fungi for biochemical and biomaterial production.

Summary: Fungi are like tiny, natural factories! They can eat waste and turn it into useful things like food, medicine, and new materials. Scientists are using new tools to change the DNA of these fungi so they can work even better and make more products. While we already use fungi to make some everyday items, there is still a lot to learn. In the future, these amazing organisms could help us clean up waste, protect the earth, and even build things in space!
