title: Highlights of DNA Barcoding in identification of salient microorganisms like fungi.
abstract: Fungi, the second largest kingdom of eukaryotic life, are diverse and widespread. Fungi play a distinctive role in the production of different products on industrial scale, like fungal enzymes, antibiotics, fermented foods, etc., to give storage stability and improved health to meet major global challenges. To utilize algae perfectly for human needs, and to pave the way for getting a healthy relationship with fungi, it is important to identify them in a quick and robust manner with molecular-based identification system. So, there is a technique that aims to provide a well-organized method for species level identifications and to contribute powerfully to taxonomic and biodiversity research is DNA Barcoding. DNA Barcoding is generally achieved by the retrieval of a short DNA sequence - the 'barcode' - from a standard part of the genome and that barcode is then compared with a library of reference barcode sequences derived from individuals of known identity for identification.
