Handbook of Industrial Mycology

Zusatztext "This book is a well-organized and superbly researched publication well suited for researchers engaged in further studying the biochemical basis for the functional effects of tea extracts or components and for healthcare professionals who are inclined to use traditional medicines?" Journal of Natural Products "An's book is in the same series of the two edited by Arora and is very much one of a triumvirate! largely complementary rather than duplicatory in content. ?Especially well-researched! comprehensive! and authoritative! is the review of 'Biological activities of fungal metabolites' (Peláez). ?my recommendation has to be the three superb and largely complementary Marcel Dekker volumes! carefully put together under the keen eye of the series editor! Joan W. Bennett."-Mycological Research! Oct. 2005 "?the handbook stands alone as a hefty reference guide to industrial exploration of fungi. ?International literature is well-represented."-E-Streams! Vol. 8! No. 9 "The enthusiastic introductory chapter is followed by a wealth of information about the nature! biological activity and taxonomic significance of fungal metabolites? .The book is packed with information and the Editor is to be congratulated on getting together an extensive team of contributors. Although most of the book is concerned with the beneficial use of fungi! one chapter is devoted to a general account of mycotoxins. ?this book should surely be on the shelves of any laboratory involved with fungal biotechnology and is an excellent source of information for those involved with teaching and research on fungi."-Microbiology Today Informationen zum Autor Zhiqiang An Klappentext This single-source reference provides a comprehensive overview of recent advances in industrial mycology.
