Mangrove fungi, their ecological role in mangrove ecosystems, their bioproducts, and potential applications are reviewed in this article. Mangrove ecosystems can play an important role in beach protection, accretion promotion, and sheltering coastlines and creeks as barriers against devastating tropical storms and waves, seawater, and air pollution. The ecosystems are characterized by high average and constant temperatures, high salinity, strong winds, and anaerobic muddy soil. The mangrove ecosystems also provide the unique habitats for the colonization of fungi which can produce different kinds of enzymes for industrial uses, recycling of plants and animals in the ecosystems, and the degradation of pollutants. Many mangrove ecosystem-associated fungi also can produce exopolysaccharides, Ca²⁺-gluconic acid, polymalate, liamocin, polyunsaturated fatty acids, biofuels, xylitol, enzymes, and bioactive substances, which have many potential applications in the bioenergy, food, agricultural, and pharmaceutical industries. Therefore, mangrove ecosystems are rich bioresources for bioindustries and ecology. It is necessary to identify more mangrove fungi and genetically edit them to produce a distinct array of novel chemical entities, enzymes, and bioactive substances.

本文回顾了红树林真菌，其在红树林生态系统中的生态作用，其生物产品以及潜在的应用。红树林生态系统可以在海滩保护，增生，庇护海岸线和小溪等方面发挥重要作用，作为抵御毁灭性热带风暴和海浪，海水和空气污染的屏障。生态系统的特点是平均温度高，温度恒定，盐度高，大风和厌氧性泥泞土壤。红树林生态系统还为真菌定殖提供了独特的栖息地，真菌可以产生各种酶用于工业用途，生态系统中动植物的循环利用以及污染物的降解。许多与红树林生态系统相关的真菌也可以产生胞外多糖Ca ²⁺葡萄糖酸，聚苹果酸，柳霉素，多不饱和脂肪酸，生物燃料，木糖醇，酶和生物活性物质，在生物能源，食品，农业和制药工业中具有许多潜在应用。因此，红树林生态系统是生物工业和生态系统的丰富生物资源。有必要确定更多的红树林真菌并对其进行基因编辑，以产生一系列独特的新型化学实体，酶和生物活性物质。
