Fungal Fermentation

Fungal fermentation is a biological process where fungi, such as yeast or mold, convert natural sugars into valuable products like alcohol, organic acids, vitamins, and enzymes. This process occurs in controlled environments and is widely used in food production, medicine, and biotechnology. For example, yeast ferments sugars to produce bread, beer, and wine, while mold can produce antibiotics like penicillin. Essentially, fungi act as tiny factories, transforming raw ingredients through their metabolic activity into substances useful for various industries.
