This review summarizes the current understanding of microbial–polymer interactions, including surface colonization, biofilm-mediated depolymerization, and intracellular uptake of degradation intermediates, and discusses recent developments in enzyme engineering, strain optimization employing the CRISPR method, and synthetic biology approaches improving catabolic efficiency.
The convergence of fungal systems biology with the principles of circular bioeconomy is illustrated and the technological, economic, and regulatory bottlenecks which need to be overcome are pointed out to fully realise the potential of fungi as the biofactories of the future for the sustainable production of energy and materials.
