Marine environments are home to vast ecosystems of fungi and other life forms. This book deals with diversity, ecology, genomics, phylogeny, bioactive potential, biotechnology and bioprospects of marine fungi. It emphasizes several basic and applied areas, including diversity, genomics, metabolomics, the bioactive potential, and the industrial significance of marine fungi. It discusses various aspects of marine fungal secondary metabolites and natural products. The book has been structured into three subsections, each addressing a distinct thematic area of diversity, ecology, genomics, human health, bioremediation, biotechnology and bioprospects. Emphasis is also laid on the significance of marine fungal medicinal potential, value-added pigments, enzymes, biofuel, polysaccharides, bioremediation potential, and other prospects.
