This book provides a comprehensive examination of the versatile fungal genus Aureobasidium , highlighting its biological traits, taxonomy, and significant industrial and environmental applications. It examines its natural distribution, life cycle, genome characteristics, enzyme production, and the biosynthesis of valuable compounds such as exopolysaccharides, organic acids, extracellular heavy oils and intracellular lipids. The volume also discusses its potential as a biocontrol agent and its broader biotechnological relevance. Together, these insights offer a thorough understanding of Aureobasidium spp. and outline promising future directions for its application in biotechnology and fundamental biology.
The chapters cover a wide range of topics, including the taxonomy and distribution of Aureobasidium spp., their unique morphological and genomic characteristics. The authors present a detailed analysis of the biosynthesis, regulation, and industrial applications of various fermentation products derived from these fungi. Products such as pullulan, β-glucan, polymalate, fumaric acid, liamocin, massoia lactone, lipids, siderophre (its derivates) and melanin are explored for their potential to replace non-sustainable chemicals, offering innovative solutions for industries like food, pharmaceuticals, and agriculture. The authors also provide the latest techniques for genome editing, chemical editing and molecular taxonomy of Aureobasidium spp.
Readers will also discover the role of Aureobasidium spp. as biocontrol agents, providing eco-friendly alternatives to synthetic pesticides. The book invites readers to consider critical questions about the mechanisms of their cell adaptation and the regulation of their cell shape and division, making it a must-read for those interested in the latest advancements in fungal biotechnology. This volume is an invaluable resource for researchers, scholars, and students in the fields of microbiology, synthetic biology and biotechnology. It offers a comprehensive overview of the industrial applications and evolutionary biology of Aureobasidium spp., making it an essential addition to the libraries of academics, professionals, and biotechnology companies seeking to expand their research, development, and knowledge of fungal biotechnology.
