Bücher der Reihe Mycology

Considers biological systems as parts of a whole rather than as a series of individual elements, highlighting research in genetics, molecular biology, and ecology. This book facilitates the application of novel techniques to problems in molecular mycology and explores potentials for research. It is suitable for biologists and chemists.

Presents an overview of advances in industrial mycology. This handbook provides a framework of basic methods, tools, and organizational principles for channeling fungal germplasm into the academic, pharmaceutical, and enzyme discovery laboratories.

This new edition continues the unique approach of examining the roles of fungi from the perspective of ecosystem functions. It explores how fungi have adapted to survive within particular constraints, how they help to maintain homeostasis in ecosystems, how they facilitate resistance to perturbations, and how they influence the communities of other organisms. It contains substantial expansions to previous material, including discussions of new molecular techniques of metagenomics, transcriptomics and proteomics in understanding fungal functions and a new section on fungi in the built environment.

A guide to the combined use of classical and molecular methods for the genetic analysis and breeding of fungi. It presents basic concepts and experimental designs, and demonstrates the power of fungal genetics for applied research in biotechnology and phytopathology. It includes case studies of Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Candida albicans.

Offers information on anaerobic fungi from a number of different disciplines. This reference examines the taxonomy, physiology, biochemistry, molecular biology, and ecology of anaerobic fungi. It focuses on fungi from the rumen and other gut environments such as the cecum and hindgut of nonruminant herbivores.

Encompasses advances in protoplast isolation techniques and methodology, uses of protoplasts in physiological, biochemical, and genetic studies, and developments in protoplast fusion that form the basis for transformation and gene cloning experiments, including applications in industrial biotechnology.

Explores the scope of food mycology. This book discusses post-harvest problems including fungal infection of living crops and techniques used to detect a fungal invasion. It addresses the fungal spore as an important vehicle for fungi distribution and presents a coverage of mycotoxins, fungi as hyperproducers of enzymes, and fungal spoilage.

Offers information on the biotechnological potential of entomopathogenic fungi and ergot alkaloids, applications of Trichoderma in disease control, and the development of mycoherbicides. This work covers topics including fungal control of nematodes, production of edible fungi, fermented foods and high-value products like mycoprotein.

Contains ten articles that provide an overview of the flowering research into the genetics and molecular biology of fungus species that are economically significant in industry. This work reports on work in such areas as industrial enzymes, antibiotics and toxins.

Presents advances in the study of the intracellular fate and transport of metal ions in fungi, emphasizing the mechanisms that regulate cellular concentration. This book explains the relationship between molecular genetics and inorganic biochemistry.

Virtual reality and the real world begin to blur as Declan/Dustin takes on a dangerous new enemy in the epic second book of this fantasy-adventure series. Escaping his broken-down reality for a simulated world was never Declan's thing-until he got pulled into an MMORPG unlike any other and became Dustin the Magic Myconid. Now, with several quests completed and a few levels under his belt, he's ready to explore the world of Indiri and form a Mercenary Guild with his real-world friend Matt, aka Noam the Tiefling Bard. Only, their journey gets off to a very rough start. Almost immediately, their train is derailed, and they-along with the odd assortment of riffraff who've joined their guild-are forced to stop in a seemingly quiet town. Soon, the members of their group begin disappearing, one by one, leaving behind nothing but unexplained wounds to the persons of those who are left. Before it's too late, Dustin and Noam must figure out who or what is attacking them. Because the more invested they become in this virtual land, the more their flesh-and-blood existences are tied to what happens here . . . Combining the very best of fantasy tropes with tabletop gaming, unforgettable characters, and mind-bending AI, They Met in a Tavern is the thrilling continuation of an epic adventure. The second volume of the hit LitRPG fantasy series-with more than 500,000 views on Royal Road-now available on Audible and wherever ebooks are sold!
