• Abstract:

  Human activities, in the most varied sectors of knowledge and technological production, have generated negative and positive impacts on the world stage. Current perspectives in the field of microbiology allow us to glimpse various alternatives for these issues in the applied biotechnologies, among which stands out the biotechnology of microbial biotransformation. The present study aims at the elaboration of a systematic literature review about microbiological events applied to different industrial sectors. For the organization of the data, queries were carried out in the online scientific databases Periodicals CAPES and SciELO, adopting the last 10 years as the period for collecting articles and analyzing the information. 22 files were found, however 8 articles were excluded, resulting in 14 articles for the literature review. In general, it was possible to show that the different articles portray that biotransformation is indeed a valuable strategy that can be applied in the environmental, laboratory and medicinal sectors, through simplified methodologies and with reduced costs, being evident in these events the application of fungi in the stages and processes of biotransformation in a comprehensive way in several areas of research.
