Today’s accelerated pace of research, aided by new instruments and techniques that combine the approaches of genetics, biochemistry, and cell biology, has changed the character of mycology. A new approach is necessary for the organization and study of fungi.
Fungi: Experimental Methods in Biology presents the latest information in fungal biology generated through the application of genetics, molecular biology, and biochemistry. This book analyzes information derived through real experiments, and focuses on unresolved questions in the field. Divided into six sections comprising 14 chapters, the text describes the special features of fungi, interactions of fungi with other organisms, model fungi in research, gene manipulation, adaptations, and natural populations.
Each chapter is self-contained and written in a style that enables the reader to progress from elementary concepts to advanced research, benefiting both beginning research workers and experienced professionals. A comprehensive appendix covers the principles in naming fungi and discusses their broad classification.

Fungal biology 4th Edition

 Fungal biology 4th Edition
J. W. Deacon

"Fungal Biology" is the fully updated new edition of this undergraduate text, covering all major areas of fungal biology and providing insights into many topical areas such as:
fungal ultrastructure and the mechanisms of fungal growth
important fungal metabolites, including antibiotics, mycotoxins and immunosuppressants
the molecular techniques used to study fungal populations
fungal genetics and fungal genomes
the significance of fungi in mutualistic and pathogenic interactions
the major methods for controlling fungi, including the fungi that cause diseases of humans and the antifungal drugs used to treat these infections

This edition also focuses on the interactions of fungi that form the basis for developing biological control agents, with several commercial examples of the control of insect pests and plant diseases.

The text is illustrated with many diagrams and tables that summarize key points, and with many high-quality images (available in color to download free via www.blackwellpublishing.com/deacon and for instructors on CD-ROM).

The emphasis throughout is on the functional biology of fungi, with several examples from recent research. The book also includes a clear illustrative account of the features and significance of the main fungal groups.
