About this Book

Mycotechnology has a crucial role to play in the 21st century. Fungi are bioprotectors, bioremediators, bio-fertilizers, drug-producers and involved in everyday life. Mycotechnology: Present Status and Future Prospects includes current and rare topics on mycotechnology, such as, molecular techniques (for analysis of soil fungi, diagnosis of ochratoxin-A producing fungi, identification of ectomycorrhizal fungi), SPPADBASE, bioactive sesquiterpenes, mycological applications of Raman spectroscopy, etc.

Key Features

• Discusses latest developments in mycotechnology
• Addresses molecular diagnosis of mycotoxins, soil microbes and ectomycorrhizal fung
• *Includes role of type culture collection in mycological research and applications, e.g. drug discovery from fungi.
• Deals with the role of fungal chitinase
• *Focuses on strategic role of AMF in agroecosystem and disease control.
• Contains database of PCR primers for phytopathogenic fung

>This book is essential reading for mycologists, biotechnologists, microbiologists, botanists, agronomists, physicists, biochemists.
