Despite the many advances made during the last decade in various
aspects of fungal biochemistry, there have been very few volumes
devoted to the sub ject in recent years. This lack is all the more
surprising in view of the increas ing use of fungi in gene
manipulation studies and in biotechnological ap plications, and of
the current interest in the biorational discovery of novel agents
for the control of fungal pathogens of plants and humans. We hope
that this book goes some way to rectifying this situation by
providing an up to-date account of selected developments in two
important areas, namely cell walls and membranes. Topics included
in the book concern both yeasts and filamentous fungi. Although the
main emphasis is on biogenesis, functional aspects are also
discussed, e.g. the role of glycoproteins in recognition of sterols
in mem branes and of calcium in regulation. Several contributions
describe in terference with the 'normal' biochemistry of cell walls
and membranes with a view to increasing fundamental knowledge, but
also highly relevant to the design of new fungicides and
antimycotics. The steadily increasing impact of molecular biology
on the study of fungal biochemistry is highlighted throughout.
