Taking a multidisciplinary approach, this book focuses on recent
milestones in basic and applied mycology, focusing on many and
diverse applications in the agricultural, food, and biofuel
sectors. Applied Mycology for Agriculture and Foods: Industrial
Applications provides an informative update of the current
biological status of fungi and advances in conventional and modern
molecular tools in identification, taxonomy of fungi, and
applications of different taxonomic groups of fungi in various
sectors, such as agriculture, food development, postharvesting,
biological control of crop diseases, biofertilizers,
bioremediation, pigments, pharmaceuticals, enzymes, biofuel
production, etc. The volume addresses fungal biodiversity
conservation, the emerging field of fungal metagenomics, the role
of fungi in eco-safety and warfare, and the bioprospecting of fungi
for hydrocarbons for biofuel production. Several chapters discuss
using fungi in agricultural management, such as for the biocontrol
of plant diseases, using entomopathogenic fungi as a pesticide,
using nematophagous fungi for controlling nematodes that eat crops,
using fungi in the development of biofertilizers, and more. The
role of fungi in post-harvest diseases management in horticultural
crops is looked at as well. Key features: Provides up-to-date
information and advances in biological status and classification of
fungi Discusses the comprehensive role of fungi in various sectors,
in food and agriculture, in biofuel production, in the production
of production of antibiotics or antimicrobial agents, etc. Presents
the recent systemic taxonomic classifications, developments,
applications in molecular mycology and conservation strategies for
mycoflora Aiming to bridge the knowledge gap between basic and
applied aspects of mycology, this volume provides a wealth of
information that will be valuable for researchers, industrial
scientists, faculty and students in mycology and plant pathology as
well as in botany, microbiology, food microbiology, pharmaceutical
development, biotechnology and biofuel production, and other
professional disciplines.
