A fungus is a eukaryote microbe that absorbs nutrients directly through its cell walls from the host / substrate and digests food. Most fungi reproduce sexually and by asexual spores. They have a body (thallus) composed of microscopic tubular cells called hyphae. Fungi are heterotrophs and obtain their carbon and energy from other organisms. Some fungi are parasites and obtain their food from a living host (plant or animal) and hence they are called biotrophs. Some fungi are growing as saprophytes and obtain their food from dead plants or animals. Some fungi infect a living host, but kill host cells in order to obtain their nutrients; these are called necrotrophs. Fungi were once considered to be primitive members of the plant kingdom and are slightly more advanced than bacteria. Fungi are more closely related to animals than they are to plants.
The chemical composition and metabolic reactions of the organisms appear to be similar even though there is biological diversity. The composition of living tissues and non-living matter also appear to be similar in qualitative analysis. Closer analysis shows that the relative abundance of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen is higher in living system. All the carbon compounds we get from living tissues can be called biomolecules.
This preparatory manual is a single source reference for postgraduate exam preparation. Intense efforts have gone in preparation of the book to make it complete in all aspects. In-depth coverage of every subject in the form of synopsis is the highlight of the book. To enhance rapid reading, quick learning facts have been framed as an effective learning tool. Multiple-choice questions have been designed to suit both national and international competitive postgraduate entrance examinations.

A political, cultural and trade review.
Process engineering, and especially, process design, in my opinion, is the most interesting and beautiful subject, there is. This book is an honest attempt to share the beauty of the subject with everyone. It will certainly help become an excellent process engineer. On purpose, it has been tried to keep the theoretical aspects at bay and focus mainly on practical implications of process design. Once the "how to do" part is clear, then readers will be ready for figuring out the "why" part themselves. This is a must-have book for final year engineering students and for practicing engineers in engineering consultancies. This book shall serve as a bridge between university and industries. It's a...
Biosurfactants are structurally diverse group of bioactive molecules produced by a variety of microorganisms. They are secondary metabolites that accumulate at interfaces, reduce surface tension and form micellar aggregates. This research topic describes few novel microbial strains with a focus on increasing our understanding of genetics, physiology, regulation of biosurfactant production and their commercial potentials. A major stumbling block in the commercialization of biosurfactants is their high cost of production. Many factors play a significant role in making the process cost-effective and the most important one being the use of low-cost substrates such as agricultural residues for th...
