Abstract
The progress made in the applied field has helped in reevaluating fumaric acid (FA) beyond the scope of a platform chemical. Active research on carbon economy and biorefinery concepts has sped up the biological production of FA. Immobilization techniques and genetic and metabolic engineering strategies have been explored for enhanced FA production. However, in the downstream processing, prevailing bottlenecks have not been well addressed with new methodological concepts. The relevancy of different molecular factors/mechanisms to the morphogenesis of FA-producing fungal strains needs to be analyzed. A deep insight into the minute details of various applications of FA and evaluating them together with the production scenario is important. In this chapter, production and application aspects of FA have been readdressed with an updated status and relevant discussions put forward on the future line of development of some of the important findings made so far.
