Gene Expression Systems in Fungi: Advancements and Applications
Biotechnology has emerged as one of the key environmentally safe technologies for the future which enables use of biomass to develop novel smart materials and to replace oil derived products. Fungi are the most efficient producers of the enzymes needed for this purpose and in addition they produce a plethora of secondary metabolites, among which novel antibiotics can be found. Industrial application and exploitation of the metabolic capacities of fungi requires highly productive and robust gene expression systems, which can be achieved by selection of appropriate species and strain improvement. In this book we aim to summarize homologous and heterologous gene expression systems of fungi for production of enzymes and secondary metabolites. A broad overview on requirements, challenges and successful applications shall serve as a basis for further development of fungi as biotechnological workhorses in research and industry.
The Fungal Colony
An authoritative information on the properties of the fungal colony.
Molecular Glycobiology
Cell-surface carbohydrates play critical roles in cell-cell interactions. This well-written book brings together leading researchers to detail major recent advances regarding our understanding of the molecular mechanisms underlying such processes. Emphasis is given to cell type, specific carbohydrate expression, and the carbohydrates and proteins involved in cell recognition. Topics include the molecular structure of animal lectins, carbohydrate recognition in cell-cell interaction, chemical synthesis of oligosaccharides, conformational studies on oligosaccharides, and cell-surface carbohydrates, among others. Also included is a full discussion of key experimental approaches such as chemical synthesis and the three-dimensional structural analysis of carbohydrates. Providing both an up-to-date description of the subject and a forecast of likely future developments, Molecular Glycobiology is a much-needed synopsis of an exciting and rapidly expanding field. It will be welcomed by students and researchers in molecular biology, biochemistry, cell biology, and glycobiology.
Evolutionary Biology of the Fungi
The fungi represent superb tools for the study of evolution 'in action'. This 1987 book was the first to bring together, in one volume, coverage of the growing consensus of knowledge and ideas concerning evolutionary biology of the fungi in the widest sense. It draws, not only upon the impetus given to the field by the molecular approaches of the time, but also on the wider technical and philosophical issues raised in the search for evolutionary pattern in fungal life styles, fungal populations and at the phylogenetic level. This fascinating text will continue to interest mycologists and evolutionary biologists.
Lignocellulosics
Lignocellulosics: Renewable Feedstock for (Tailored) Functional Materials and Nanotechnology gives a comprehensive overview of recent advances in using lignocellulosic substrates in materials science and nanotechnology. The functionalization and processing of lignocellulosics are described via a number of examples that cover films, gels, sensors, pharmaceutics and energy storage. In addition to the research related to functional cellulose nanomaterials, there has been an increased interest in research on lignin and lignocellulosics. This book explains how utilizing biomaterials as a raw material allows ambitious reconstruction of smart materials that are green and multifunctional. As lignin as a valuable material has gained a lot of attention in the last few years, shifting from purely extraction and fundamental characterization, and now also focusing on the preparation of exciting materials, such as nanoparticles, readers will find this to be a comprehensive resource on the topic.
Fungal Biology
This text originates from a series of lectures given by the authors. It is aimed primarily at first- and second-year biology students starting courses in mycology or microbiology in which the study of fungi is a significant component
