This volume provides an overview of the current state of the art in agricultural and industrial mycology. It highlights the importance and potential of fungi in these fields.
Several topics relate to the critical and ambiguous role of fungi in agriculture, including beneficial and pathogenic fungal-plant interactions and food spoilage caused by mycotoxins. In addition, this volume provides a fascinating insight into ergot alkaloids. The impact of climate change on the occurrence of pathogenic fungi is also discussed.
Fungi play an important role in a wide range of industrial processes, including the fermentation of food and beverages and the biotechnological production of metabolites and enzymes. A number of specific applications are discussed in this volume, such as the production of vitamins and enzymes from marine fungi. In addition to mycologists working in industry, agriculture and academia, the book will be of interest to students of biotechnology, microbiology and mycology.
