Ubiquitous in nature, fungi have, for centuries, provided us with a variety of useful products from cheese to alcoholic beverages, organic acids, pigments, enzymes, food and lately antibiotics and small molecular weight compounds with a variety of pharmacological applications. Highlighting the crucial role fungi play in many ecological processes, Fungi: Multifaceted Microbes explores a wide range... Read more

Biography
B.N. Ganguli, S.K.Deshmukh
"… many of the chapters are by established authorities and so provide important reviews of the current state of our knowledge in those fields. Consequently, I learned a great deal from it, and can commend it as value to both lecturers preparing courses, and students working on essays on particular aspects of mycology."
– David L. Hawksworth in British Mycological Society in 2007
"The book is well edited and may be useful for everyone interested in any aspect of fungal biochemistry or biotechnology."
– A. Gniazdowska, Warsaw in Acta Physiol Plant in 2008
