Fungi : biology and applications / [electronic resource] Edited by Kevin Kavanagh. - 3rd Ed. - Hoboken, NJ : John Wiley & Sons, Inc., 2018. - 1 online resource.
Includes bibliographical references and index.
Introduction to fungal physiology / Graeme M. Walker and Nia A. White -- Fungal genetics / Malcolm Whiteway and Catherine Bachewich -- Fungal genomics / David Fitzpatrick -- Fungal genetics : a post-genomic perspective / Brendan Curran and Virginia Bugeja -- Fungal proteomics / Sean Doyle and Rebecca Owens -- Fungi as food / Johan Baars -- Pharmaceutical and chemical commodities from fungi / Karina A. Horgan and Richard A. Murphy -- Biotechnological use of fungal enzymes / Shauna M. McKelvey and Richard A. Murphy -- Biotechnological exploitation of heterologous protein production in fungi / Brendan Curran and Virginia Bugeja -- Fungal infections of humans / Derek J. Sullivan, Gary P. Moran, and David C. Coleman -- Immunity to human fungal infections / Mawieh Hamad, Mohammad G. Mohammad, and Khaled H. Abu-Elteen -- Antifungal agents for use in human therapy / Khaled H. Abu-Elteen and Mawieh Hamad -- Fungi in the environment / Richard O'Hanlon -- Fungal pathogens of plants -- Fungal pathogens of plants / Fiona Doohan and Binbin Zhou.
Fungi: Biology and Applications is a comprehensive, balanced introduction of the biology, biotechnological applications and medical significance of fungi. With no prior knowledge of the subject assumed, the opening chapters offer a broad overview of the basics of fungal biology, in particular the physiology and genetics of fungi. Later chapters move on to include more detailed coverage of topics such as proteomics, bioinformatics, heterologous protein expression, medical mycology, anti-fungal drug development and function, fungal biotechnology and fungal pathogens of economically important plants. Carefully structured, each chapter contains self-assessment exercises with answers included at the end of the book to enhance student understanding. * A comprehensive treatment of the medical and economic importance of fungi to everyday life * Chapters include revision sections and problems to reinforce key concepts * Invaluable for undergraduates taking a first course on fungal biology or mycology. * also of interest to those working within the field looking for an up-to-date introduction.
