Introduction to Fungal Synthetic Biology

Fungi are organisms with diverse importance. They are an integral part of the ecosystem and have commercial value that has been exploited in different ways since ancient times. A wide range of chemicals produced by the engineering of fungi have been exploited commercially and a large number of chemicals are yet to be discovered. Synthetic biology is a promising field that aims to understand native biological systems as well as create novel products and combinations by integrating genetic engineering principles in life sciences. It is also an expanding field. Until now, different aspects of synthetic biology have encompassed fungal research. The field of fungal synthetic biology is growing rapidly.

Synthetic biology allows for in-depth exploration and elucidation of cellular mechanisms in an integrative way through genetic and metabolic engineering of fungal cells. Synthetic biology tools can be used to manipulate fungal strains to improve metabolic flow by pathway design. Synthetic biology plays a central role in these efforts by innovatively using the components of biological circuits, pathways, or systems. Enormous numbers of research have been done in fungal synthetic biology, especially in the context of filamentous fungi and yeast. Rapid advances in synthetic biology coupled with the reduced cost of DNA synthesis, assembly, and sequencing have rapidly speeded up the design-build-test-learn (DBTL) cycle. As a result of these technological advances, it is believed that fungi and fungal synthetic biology will play more important roles in the future.
