Visalakchi S and Muthumary J. 2010. Taxol (Anticancer Drug) producing endophytic fungi: An overview. International Journal of Pharma and Bio Sciences.1 (3): 1-9. Research on fungal technology is done in private firms also. Research on dermatophytic and keratinophilic fungi is being carried out by S.K. Deshmukh and his group at the Nicholas Piramal Research Centre, Mumbai. Raghukumar’s MykoTech Pvt Ltd., Goa, specializes on biotechnological application of fungi, their enzymes and metabolites. Deshmukh SK and Verekar SA 2011. Incidence of keratinophilic fungi from the soils of Vedanthangal water bird sanctuary (India). Mycoses. 54: 487-490. Deshmukh SK, Verekar SA. 2011. Prevalence of keratinophilic fungi in ‘Usar’ soils of Uttar Pradesh, India. Microbiology Research. 3:e15 doi:10.4081/mr.2011.e15 Pratibha Jalmi, Pranali Bodke, Solimabi Wahidullah and Seshagiri Raghukumar. 2011. The fungus Gliocephalotrichum simplex as a source of abundant, extracellular melanin for biotechnological applications. Published online in World Journal of Microbiology and Biotechnology. Research on ecology, diversity and phylogeny of deep-sea fungi and fungi from oxygen- depleted coastal and oceanic zones of the Arabian Sea is being carried out at the National Institute of Oceanography. Culture-dependent as well as culture-independent approaches were used to describe abundance, distribution and diversity of fungi from these extreme environments. Besides, bioremediation of industrial pollutants by marine fungi is also pursued by this group. These studies have resulted in filing several national and international patents.

Adaptation of marine derived fungus Chaetomium globosum (NIOCC 36) to alkaline stress using antioxdant properties. Process Biochemistry 46: 847-857 Detailed studies on genetics of Neurospora crassa is being done by Kasbekar and his team of researchers at the Centre for Cellular and Molecular Biology, Hyderabad.
