Mycology deals with the study of fungi as a whole, their genetic and biochemical properties, taxonomy and use to humans as a source of food, medicine and diseases caused by them to humans as well as plants. Marine mycology is the sub classification of mycology that deals with the study of fungi occurring in oceans and seas. Most fungi are extensive producers of toxins, antibiotics and secondary metabolites. One of the major roles played by fungi is symbionts as lichens (association with algae), mycorrhizae (association with plants) and insect symbionts. A vast range of fungi are capable of simplifying complex organic biomolecules like lignin, xenobiotics, petroleum, and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons which makes the fungi an indispensible unit in facilitating the global carbon cycle.
