Overview

An ideal starting point for any research study of filamentous fungi. Incorporates the latest findings from such disciplines as physiology, taxonomy, genomics, molecular biology and cell biology. Begins with an historical perspective, cell morphology and taxonomy, and moves on to such topics as cell growth, development, metabolism, and pathogenesis. Presents the full range of the fungal kingdom and covers important topics as saprophytes, pathogens and endophytes. Serves as a recommended text for graduate and undergraduate students. This title is published by the American Society of Microbiology Press and distributed by Taylor and Francis in rest of world territories.
