Fungi and their natural products, like secondary metabolites, have gained a huge demand in the last decade due to increasing applications healthcare, environmental cleanup, biotechnology-based industries. The fungi produce these metabolites (SMs) during different phases of growth, which are categorized into terpenoids, alkaloids, polyketides, non-ribosomal peptides. These SMs exhibit significant biological activity, contributes formulation novel pharmaceuticals, biopesticides, bioremediation agents. Nowadays, fungal-derived widely used food beverages, for fermentation, preservatives, protein sources, dairy In it is being as an antimicrobial, anticancer, anti-inflammatory, immunosuppressive drug. usage modern tools biotechnology can achieve increase large-scale production. present review comprehensively analyses diversity fungal along with emerging agriculture, sustainability, nutraceuticals. Here, authors reviewed recent advancements genetic engineering, metabolic pathway manipulation, synthetic biology improve production yield SMs. Advancement fermentation techniques, bioprocessing, co-cultivation approaches Investigators further highlighted importance omics technologies understanding regulation biosynthesis SMs, offers drug discovery sustainable agriculture. Finally, addressed potential manipulation biotechnological innovations exploitation commercial benefits.
