This research examines how fungi can be used as efficient and sustainable factories to produce valuable proteins and other compounds. Fungi are particularly good at secreting large amounts of proteins compared to other microorganisms, making them excellent candidates for industrial production. The findings impact everyday life in several ways: • More sustainable and efficient production of industrial enzymes used in detergents, food processing, and other consumer products • Development of new meat alternatives and protein-rich foods through fungal fermentation • More environmentally friendly ways to produce food proteins compared to traditional animal agriculture • Potential for converting agricultural waste into valuable food and feed products • Creation of new bio-based materials and ingredients for various consumer products
