In biological drug development and microbiology, fungi such as yeast (e.g., Saccharomyces cerevisiae) and basidiomycetes play crucial roles as model organisms. Their highly manipulable genomes and metabolic diversity make them essential in biopharmaceutical research and fundamental biology studies. Yeasts, with their short life cycles, small genomes, and ease of genetic manipulation, are ideal tools for studying eukaryotic cell biology, metabolic engineering, and protein expression. Furthermore, yeasts play pivotal roles in drug target screening, vaccine development, and heterologous protein production. Their applications span from drug production, metabolic engineering, to gene function research, among others. Their unique advantages grant them broad application potential in fields such as biopharmaceuticals, industrial enzyme production, and synthetic biology. With continuous advancements in gene editing technology and synthetic biology, fungi such as yeasts are poised to become vital platforms for future biopharmaceutical production and green biomanufacturing, driving precision medicine and sustainable development.
Basidiomycetes, as another significant class of fungi, exhibit tremendous potential in biopharmaceutical research due to their rich secondary metabolites and unique enzymatic systems. They can produce various biologically active compounds, such as polysaccharides, terpenoids, and phenolic substances, which demonstrate significant pharmacological activities in anti-tumor, immune modulation, and antioxidant aspects. Additionally, the enzymatic systems of basidiomycetes (e.g., laccase and lignin peroxidase) have important applications in biodegradation and environmental remediation.
