Opis

This is a practical reference on the physical and chemical factors and processes behind the functioning of fungi. A revised edition, it summarizes the field of fungal physiology from a dynamic, experimental viewpoint. Bridging the gap between introductory mycology texts, advanced treatises and review articles, the book integrates the advances made by molecular genetics with conventional whole organism and biochemical approaches.
