FUNGAL FLORA IN WATER, AIR, SOIL ECOSYSTEMS: OCCURRENCE AND ENZYME SCREENING

Аннотация

Fungi constitute a vital component of terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems, playing pivotal roles in nutrient cycling, decomposition, and symbiotic relationships. This study investigates the presence and diversity of fungal flora in water, air, and soil ecosystems, elucidating their ecological significance. Through comprehensive sampling and molecular analysis, the distribution of fungal species across these environments is examined. Additionally, the study delves into the screening of fungal enzymes with biotechnological potential. Enzyme activities involved in lignocellulose degradation, nutrient mobilization, and pollutant detoxification are assessed, highlighting the immense enzymatic potential of fungal communities. The integration of fungal diversity exploration and enzyme screening underscores the multifaceted contributions of fungi to ecosystem dynamics and biotechnology.
