基本説明
The roles of fungi from the preparation of foods to drug production and their relationship with humans, animals, and plants are described. The contributions of molecular biology to mycology and the development of molecular methods for the study of fungal ecology, pathology, etc.
Full Description
The fungi are one of the great groups of living organisms, comparable in numbers of species, diversity and ecological significance with animals, plants, protists and bacteria. This textbook deals with all fundamental and applied aspects of mycology, illustrated by reference to well studied species from major fungal groups. Since the publication of the first edition of The Fungi, there have been many important advances in the field of mycology. This second up-to-date edition has been revised and substantially expanded, and incorporates the application of methods of molecular biology, especially DNA technology to mycology.
