Citric, acetic, and gluconic acids are among the organic acids that are produced from fungi and have many functions. They are mostly used as a chemical reagent, fungicide, herbicide, microbicide, pH adjuster, counterirritant, and solvent in a variety of industries, including food, agriculture, cleaning, and cosmetics.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Objectives<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This study aimed to study the diversity of selected organic acids (citric, acetic, and gluconic acids) produced by filamentous fungi isolated from the agricultural soils of North Gondar, Ethiopia.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>In this study, a total of 36 soil samples were randomly collected from agricultural fields at different locations in North Gondar, Ethiopia.
