Exploiting Fungal Solutions for Today's Challenges

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue will be dedicated to the use of fungi and their enzymatic cocktails to address today’s industrial and societal challenges. Emphasis will be placed on the exploitation of all classes of fungi in reducing wastes and by-products, in enhancing agro-industrial opportunities, biocontrol, and the transformation of renewable molecules to replace material derived from fossil fuels. The utilization of the fungal cells as novel factories to produce high-value material for industrial use is also of interest.

Aspects covering comparative genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics and metabolomics, as well as fungal physiological and evolutionary approaches, will be considered. The synergistic interaction between a range of fungal enzymes produced by a single fungus to address a challenge or in the creation of novel cocktails to overcome recalcitrance will also be included.

Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Journal of Fungi is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
