The ability of fungi to construct unique complex molecules using established metabolic pathways. Different taxa produce sets of related molecules, each with slightly different final products. Metabolites formed along the metabolic pathway may also be biologically active which can be used in the manufacture of antibiotics.

88
Q

A

Harmful algal blooms are a major environmental problem. It is also referred to as red tides. Harmful algal blooms are overgrowths of algae in water.
