Abstract
Microorganisms are the main producers of a variety of enzymes, including proteases, chitinases, amylases, cellulases, and hemicellulases. These enzymes degrade organic biological substrates, providing nutrients for growth and contributing to carbon recycling in nature. Trichoderma is one of the most important filamentous fungi producing a number of valuable compounds along with production of many beneficial enzymes widely used in the food and feed industries, textile, pulp and paper, and biofuels and biorefinery industries. Biotechnological applications of Trichoderma species play an important role in various industries where its genes and function related to production of protein synthesis and secretory capability are widely exploited.
