There is an obvious need for a comprehensive treatment of the basisprinciples, methods and applications of mycology as an applied,integrated and multidisciplinary subject. This book presents detailedinformation on the ecology, molecular biology and biotechnology of fungihighlighting their role in agriculture, industry and medicine. Thisreference work highlights important applications of fungi to expandingbiotechnological research covering diverse topics ranging frommycorrhizae, biological control, medical mycology, microbial ecology,physiology and biochemistry and molecular biology. These chapters,contributed by over 30 leading international experts, cover currentknowledge on topics often neglected by publications in the fields offungal ecology and biotechnology. The present volume should serve astimely reading at research level for mycologists, microbiologists,microbial ecologists, plant pathologists and biotechnologists as wellas for postgraduate students of these disciplines.
