Since the publication of the best-selling first edition, much has
been discovered about Saccharomyces cerevisiae, the single-celled
fungus commonly known as baker's yeast or brewer's yeast that is
the basis for much of our understanding of the molecular and
cellular biology of eukaryotes. This wealth of new research data
demands our attention and requires a reference that updates our
current knowledge. Completely rewritten, updated, and expanded,
Metabolism and Molecular Physiology of Saccharomyces cerevisiae,
2nd Edition provides a modern account of the metabolism and
physiology of this important organism. All chapters have been
thoroughly revised, and two new chapters on ageing and on the
molecular organization and biogenesis of the cell wall have been
added to highlight new areas of research. The book also includes
coverage of morphogenesis, protein trafficking, lipids and
membranes, and stress responses. Written by a team of
internationally recognized experts, this authoritative second
edition is a leading reference for bioscientists across many
disciplines as well as novices interested in the latest
developments in this complex field.
Fungi are a diverse group of organisms, studied widely because of
their commercial importance in biotechnology, agriculture and
medicine, and because they provide simple model systems for
illuminating the eukaryotic mode of life. The development of the
techniques of molecular biology has opened up new areas of
mycological research, with profound consequences such as the
sequencing of the first entire eukaryotic genome. This book focuses
on the application of molecular and cell biology to mycology and
presents examples of how these approaches are elucidating long-held
problems in areas as diverse as animal and plant pathology, protein
expression and evolution. Aimed at advanced undergraduates taking
courses in mycology, applied biology, biotechnology, fungal biology
and fungal genetics, this textbook will also serve postgraduates
needing an introduction to modern fungal research.

Provides a grounding in the experimental techniques applicable to
the discipline of biotechnology. The introductory section in the
text describes procedures for analysis of inorganic and organic
materials, strain maintenance and fundamental experiments in gene
manipulation. Other chapters deal with fermentation techniques,
purification methods for substances of interest, preparation of
microbial sensors and the demonstration of oil degradation by
bacteria. The final chapter deals with statistical planning of
experiments and scale-up methods.
