overview. International Journal <strong>of</strong> Pharma and Bio Sciences.1 (3): 1-9.<br />
Research on fungal technology is done in private firms also. Research on dermatophytic and<br />
keratinophilic fungi is being carried out by S.K. Deshmukh and his group at <strong>the</strong> Nicholas Piramal<br />
Research Centre, Mumbai. Raghukumar’s MykoTech Pvt Ltd., Goa, specializes on<br />
biotechnological application <strong>of</strong> fungi, <strong>the</strong>ir enzymes and metabolites.<br />

Pratibha Jalmi, Pranali Bodke, Solimabi Wahidullah and Seshagiri Raghukumar. 2011. The<br />
fungus Gliocephalotrichum simplex as a source <strong>of</strong> abundant, extracellular melanin for<br />

Research on ecology, diversity and phylogeny <strong>of</strong> deep-sea fungi and fungi from oxygen-<br />
depleted coastal and oceanic zones <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Arabian Sea is being carried out at <strong>the</strong> National<br />
Institute <strong>of</strong> Oceanography. Culture-dependent as well as culture-independent approaches were<br />
used to describe abundance, distribution and diversity <strong>of</strong> fungi from <strong>the</strong>se extreme<br />
environments. Besides, bioremediation <strong>of</strong> industrial pollutants by marine fungi is also pursued<br />
by this group. These studies have resulted in filing several national and international patents.<br />
