Editorial Reviews

Assembles recent findings on the biology, biochemistry, and applications of fungi belonging to the two genera, which have been used for decades to produce enzymes and antibiotics and as agents against plant pathogens. The first volume covers the basic biology, taxonomy, and genetics, with discussions on morphology, ecology, nutrition, secondary metabolism, and safety issues. The molecular biology is examined from such perspectives as the fungi's genome and gene structure, genetic transformation, and asexual genetics. The second volume surveys their use in producing enzymes, biological control, and commercial applications. Descriptions of the degradation of polysaccharides and related macromolecules are followed by accounts of agricultural applications and of the production and applications of proteins and enzymes. Senior undergraduates and researchers in relevant disciplines will find useful information as will scientists working not only in enzymes and agriculture, but also in such industries as pulp and paper, textiles, and food. Each volume is paged and indexed separately. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
