Product Description
This book provides a concise yet authoritative account of the specialized methods used for the laboratory diagnosis of fungal infections, and for monitoring antifungal therapy. More comprehensive than any other available text, the volume includes detailed protocols for the collection and processing of specimens, and on the microscopical examination and culture of fungi from clinical material. The reader will full chapter coverage on the identification of the causal agents of superficial, subcutaneous, and systemic mycoses, as well as information on common fungal contaminants.Serodiagnostic tests, histopathy, and methods with antifungals are also discussed, making this equally useful as a bench-book for medical microbiologists and as a practical manual for courses in diagnostic medical mycology. ...

Product Description
Entirely rewritten and updated throughout, this Second Edition maintains and enhances the features of the first edition. "The Fungal Community, Second Edition" continues to cover the entire spectrum of fungal ecology, from studies of individual fungal populations to the functional role of fungi at the ecosystem level, and to present mycological ecology as a rational, organized body of knowledge.Acting as a bridge between mycological data and ecological theory, "The Fungal Community, Second Edition" offers such new features as: an emphasis on the nonequilibrium perspective, including the impact of habitat disturbance and environmental stress; more information on the ecological genetics of fungal populations; a chapter on the fitness of genetically altered fungi when released into the environment; an examination of fungal morphological and physiological adaptations from the evolutionary ecologist's point-of-view; an explication of the effect of fungi and insect interactions on fungal community structure and decomposition processes; a section on the importance of fungi in determining patterns of plant community development; and, a chapter on modeling fungal contributions to decomposition and nutrient cycling in ecosystems.With over 3700 references, "The Fungal Community, Second Edition" is a resource for mycologists; microbial ecologists; microbiologists; geneticists; virologists; plant pathologists; cell and molecular biologists; biotechnologists; soil, forest, and environmental scientists; and, graduate-level students in these disciplines. ...

Product Description
Frontiers of Industrial Mycology describes the present effortsunderway to create a broad range of large-scale applications usingfilamentous fungi. Important and environmentally sound applicationscurrently being developed include the use of fungi for novel*B-lactams in antibiotic production, biobleaching and thebioconversion of wood pulp, agricultural biotechnology for creatingbiological insecticides and herbicides, food fermentations, and thecommercial raising of shiitake mushrooms, a growing and largelyuntapped market in North America. The topics discussed in this volumeare on the cutting edge of industrial mycology. This book will thusbenefit a wide range of professionals and academics in biotechnology,mycology, microbiology, plant science, entomology, and biochemistry. ... Read more
