Biodiversity, Bioengineering, and Biotechnology of Fungi examines various fungi genera and their biotechnological applications. The book covers the most common genera of fungi, their structure, their taxonomy, the maintenance and organization of a permanent study collection with associated databases, and their application in diverse sectors including industrial applications in the food, environment, bioenergy, biorefinery, and biopharma sectors.
Compiled by an international team of fungal biologists, Biodiversity, Bioengineering, and Biotechnology of Fungi provides a wealth of information particularly on the diversity of fungal genera and their biotechnological contributions. The book is a valuable resource for scientists, researchers, health practitioners, nutritionists, industry professionals, advanced students, and all those who wish to broaden their knowledge in the allied field.
