Abstract
Strain improvement is highly important for the development of biotechnology processes in which filamentous fungi are applied, since native strains often do not have the production or performance levels needed. Genetic engineering is a highly powerful tool to obtain the required improvements, but the different approaches for this each have advantages and disadvantages. In this article, the different genetic engineering methods (both GMO and non-GMO) are summarized and examples of their applications are given.
