Molecular genetics offers new promise ofenhancing the productive capacity of the commercially useful fungi, aswell as for the development of methods to control the destructive species... Molecular Genetics of Filamentous Fungi, presents recentadvances in basic studies of these fungi and in gene manipulation techniques aimed at transforming their productive characteristics.
