It was not until recent years that the study of polyamines, their
mechanisms of synthesis, and the roles they play in metabolism have
flourished, becoming a fertile field of intense research.
Polyamines in Fungi: Their Distribution, Metabolism, and Role in
Cell Differentiation and Morphogenesis provides a complete overview
of its topic. It is the first and only book to describe and analyze
the roles of polyamines in fungi and compare them with the roles of
polyamines in higher eukaryotes. The book contains data on the
distribution of polyamines, their physiological functions,
mechanism of synthesis and regulation, phylogenetic analyses of the
enzymes involved in their synthesis, their use as possible targets
for the control of fungal diseases, and possible biotechnological
and medical applications. Based on work generated by the authors in
their laboratory over many years, the book contains all the basic
information to understand the similarities and differences of
polyamine metabolism in eukaryotes. Additionally, it provides an
up-to-date account of the contribution and potential use of fungi
as models for the basic study of polyamines in comparison with
other organisms.
Fungal Cell Wall: Structure, Synthesis, and Assembly, Second
Edition is a compendium of information on the chemical structure,
synthesis, and organization of the cell wall of fungi. Reviewing
the past 20 years of research in the field, it discusses
experimental evidence that demonstrates the role of the cell wall
in the growth, development, morphogenesis, and evolution of fungi.
Synthesizes 20 Years of Important Research on Fungal Cell Walls
More than just a revision, this second edition offers a fresh
perspective on what is currently known about the fungal cell wall.
It covers recent developments, conflicting theories, and important
aspects that are largely forgotten-including critical analysis of
the prevalent idea that cell walls from all fungal species have the
same basic structure, organization, and behavior as the most
popular models of study. Chapters are self-contained and can be
read independently, allowing readers to delve into specific topics.
The book begins by examining the chemical composition and structure
of the fungal cell wall, an area almost closed to modern research.
It then describes the structure and synthesis of the most important
components of the cell wall and analyzes the mechanisms of cell
wall expansion and growth. Throughout, the book identifies the
basic concepts that have led to modern ideas about cell walls. The
Essential Guide to the Fungal Cell Wall A critical review of fungal
cell wall research, this book helps readers understand the role of
fungi in nature-both positive and negative-from their symbiotic
associations and biotechnological applications to their
pathogenicity to plants, animals, and humans.
