These enzymes can act synergistically, helping fungi to control insect pests and pathogens that attack productive crops, and offer potential economic benefit to agribusiness. A number of hydrolytic enzymes have also been utilized in industrial applications. This review focuses on biochemical and structural analyses of fungal enzymes, together with current research information on secretion mechanisms.
