Question

what is the economic importance of fungi in agriculture and industry?​

Answer 1

Answer:

The presence of fungal components in the soil is very important for soil-plant-water relations, uptake of nutrients, decomposition of organic matter, decontamination of soil and plants of heavy metals, proper regulation of plant physiological processes, and cycling of nutrient elements.

Fungi constitute the basis in the baking and brewing industry. They bring about fermentation of sugar by an enzyme called zymase producing alcohol which is used to make wine.

Answer 2

• The presence of fungal components in the soil is critical for soil-plant-water interactions, nutrient absorption, organic matter decomposition, heavy metal decontamination of soil and plants, plant physiological control, and nutrient cycling.
• The baking and brewing industries rely heavily on fungi.
• They employ an enzyme called zymase to cause sugar to ferment, resulting in alcohol that may be used to produce wine.
