ABSTRACT
This single-source reference provides a comprehensive overview of recent advances in industrial mycology. The handbook provides a framework of basic methods, tools, and organizational principles for channeling fungal germplasm into the academic, pharmaceutical, and enzyme discovery laboratories, and discusses the complex range of processes involved in the discovery, characterization, and profiling of bioactive fungal metabolites. This authoritative book provides examples of several recently marketed fungal metabolites for clear demonstration and recognizes the impact of fungi on applications in the pharmaceutical, food and beverage, agricultural, and agrochemical industries.
