This 1988 volume brought together for the first time a wealth of information for those using yeasts in biotechnology. The volume is a guide to the preservation and identification of yeasts and their deposit for patent purposes; it describes the data centres and culture collection organisations from which information and expert help was obtained. The international panel of authors combined with the microbial resource centres themselves provide a unique source book. The volume will continue to be of interest to microbiologists, fermentation scientists and others who use yeasts.

This volume is an international compilation for biotechnologists of data on the location and use of filamentous fungi. The volume provides details of the location and scope of major culture collections around the world holding fungi; information on how to access their data, administration and safety, identification, culture and media recipes, preservation, patents, specialist services and international organization. The authors are international authorities who have combined with the resource centres to provide a source book for mycologists in industry, research establishments and universities.
