product description

Description

Fundamentals of Molecular Mycology provides a complete overview of recent developments and applications in molecular mycology. It serves as a comprehensive guide for the identification of fungi and the application of fungal biomolecules in agriculture, food, environment, and pharmaceutical sectors by providing detailed information about application molecular markers and bioinformatics tools for mycology.

Covering the most important aspects of molecular mycology, the book focuses on:

The application of fungal secondary metabolites in ecosystem management and sustainable agriculture

The application of DNA recombinant techniques to improve industrially important fungal species

Different molecular markers and genetic approaches for the taxonomical identification of fungi

The bioinformatics tool for the identification of fungal species and its secondary metabolites

Advances in molecular tools have created a new path for the mycological research and applications in different sectors. Fundamentals of Molecular Mycology is an excellent source of information on molecular mycology tools and applications in various fields. This book will be valuable to biotechnologists at research institutes, academia, and industry researchers, and professionals. The book is also a rich resources for undergraduate and postgraduate biology students in in mycology, botany, microbiology, fungal biology, biotechnology, and molecular biology as well.
