Abstract

Marine animals and plants, as well as inanimate habitats such as saltwater, sediments, hydrothermal vents, mud, and mudflats, are all home to marine fungi. Marine fungi are resistant to harsh marine conditions and may adapt. These marine microorganisms are significant because they can be easily cultivated and used repeatedly, as well as being safely stored in a laboratory setting. Thus, they are included in many biotechnological applications. In this review, we aimed to sum up the use of marine-derived Aspergillus niger fungus in biotechnology. The use of fungi in biotechnological applications such as bioremediation of heavy metals, biosynthesis of nanoparticle and nanofluid samples, production of valuable enzymes was explained in the section of biotechnological applications.

Keywords
