With no prior knowledge of the subject assumed, the opening chapters offer a broad overview of the basics of fungal biology, in particular the physiology and genetics of fungi and also a new chapter on the application of genomics to fungi. Later chapters move on to include more detailed coverage of topics such as antibiotic and chemical commodities from fungi, new chapters on bioteBiotechnologyFungiFungi - BiotechnologyFungi -- BiotechnologyFungiFungiBiotechnologyFungiBiological Science DisciplinesEukaryotaTechnologyTechnology, Industry, and AgricultureNatural Science DisciplinesBiotechnologyFungiMechanical EngineeringHILCCEngineering & Applied SciencesHILCCBioengineeringHILCCBiotechnology.Fungi.Fungi - Biotechnology.Fungi -- Biotechnology.Fungi.FungiBiotechnologyFungiBiological Science DisciplinesEukaryotaTechnologyTechnology, Industry, and AgricultureNatural Science DisciplinesBiotechnologyFungiMechanical EngineeringEngineering & Applied SciencesBioengineering579.5Kavanagh Kevin1628178Kavanagh KevinAU-PeELAU-PeELAU-PeELBOOK9910824275903321Fungi3992013UNINA
