      abstract = {Fungi are distinct eukaryotic organisms renowned for their  remarkable biodiversity and and extensive habitat range.  Many fungal species have long been exploited for food and  medicines. This volume considers other important  applications of fungal biotechnology especially in an  environmental context, showcasing the essential  contributions of these amazingly versatile organisms. It  explores how fungi offer sustainable solutions to tackle  various environmental concerns. Written by eminent experts  in their fields, this work presents a broad array of  current advances and future prospects in fungal  environmental biotechnology and discusses their limitations  and potential. The book is organized in five parts, each  addressing a theme of the UN Sustainable Development Goals  (SDG): strengthen food security (Zero Hunger), wastewater  treatment (Clean Water & Sanitation), pollution reduction  (Life on Land), biofuel production (Affordable & Clean  Energy) and biosynthesis of novel biomolecules (Responsible  Consumption & Production).},
