Filamentous fungi: a bioeconomic powerhouse

In the global shift from a fossil-based economy towards a circular and sustainable bioeconomy, filamentous fungi can provide new, innovative, and sustainable solutions to advance the production of various commercially interesting bio-based products, ranging from biofuels at the bottom of the bio-based pyramid to value-added products at its top. This work presents the chronological development of fungal-based products at the Faculty of Food Technology Osijek, based on fungal solid-state fermentation technology.
