The use of fungi for the production of commercial products is ancient, but it has increased
rapidly over the last 50 years. Fungi are morphologically complex organisms, differing in …

Filamentous fungi are important organisms industrially and continue to attract research
interest as microbiologists attempt to overcome the problems associated with their behavior …

Image analysis is now well established in quantifying and characterising microorganisms
from fermentation samples. In filamentous fermentations it has become an invaluable tool for …

Morphological engineering techniques have recently gained popularity as they are used for
increasing the productivity of a variety of metabolites and enzymes in fungi growing in …

Publisher Summary This chapter reviews the process characteristics of fungal growth in
submerged cultures and its relationship to the kinetics of product formation with a focus on …

Filamentous fungi comprise an industrially very important collection of microorganisms,
since they are used for the production of a wide variety of products ranging from primary …

A fully‐automatic image analysis method is described for the comprehensive and
quantitative analysis of the morphology of filamentous mycelia grown in submerged cultures …

Generalizing results from fungal fermentations is difficult due to their high sensitivity toward
slight variation in starting conditions, poor reproducibility, and difference in strains. In this …

Filamentous fungi have been widely applied in industrial biotechnology for many decades.
In submerged culture processes, they typically exhibit a complex morphological life cycle …

Publisher Summary This chapter evaluates recent advances in submerged liquid cultivation
of the vegetative or mycelial forms of those members of the “higher fungi” that produce …
