Mycologists now look at the genes of fungi to decipher many features that they have been studying in the past beyond just looking at the morphology and other such traits of these organisms. Fungi are also attracting the attention of scientists in various other disciplines. These include the search for useful fungi in various extreme environments that may be useful in other ways such as for their therapeutic value. Fungi are known to produce low molecular weight compounds and several cholesterol-lowering ones like the statins. Compounds such as the cytochalasins, peptaibols, grisan and scirpene derivatives are found only in fungi. Nanotechnology has opened many new areas of research including the use of microorganisms in the biosynthesis of nano-materials, including fungi. This volume aims to bring together what we know about the fungi from different environments. It comprises of 14 chapters written by experts in their chosen area of specialization and covers fungi from various environments such as air, water (freshwater and marine), palaeo-environment, and their influence on the environment and their management.

Ubiquitous in nature, fungi have, for centuries, provided us with a variety of useful products from cheese to alcoholic beverages, organic acids, pigments, enzymes, food and lately antibiotics and small molecular weight compounds with a variety of pharmacological applications. Highlighting the crucial role fungi play in many ecological processes, Fungi: Multifaceted Microbes explores a wide range of topics in fungal biochemistry and biotechnology.The book's sweeping coverage explores the wide range of features that give fungi their multifaceted properties. Topics explored include fungal biochemistry and biotechnology and targets for drug discovery, classical and molecular taxonomy, evolutionary aspects, secondary metabolites from marine resources, applications as mycoinsecticides and immunodiagnostics, to name just a few. The book also contains a chapter on the emerging area of fungi in nanoparticle synthesis.Given the enormous scope and dimensions of this subject, it is difficult for any single book to address every aspect of fungal biochemistry and biotechnology. The editors, each an expert in his own right, draw on articles from as wide a spectrum of international scientists as possible to provide a highly authoritative survey of the literature.
