Molecular and Cellular Biology of Filamentous Fungi, A Practical Approach

Identification and characterization of genes from filamentous fungi has become easier. The challenge is to determine the functions of genes and how they contribute to the biology of fungi. To do this a variety of different experimental techniques will be necessary, ranging from classical genetic analysis and mutant production, right through to cell biology, biochemistry and immunological methods. This book gives guidance on the full range of these methods. Authors describe laboratory procedures that have been effective for the investigation of a variety of fungal species. They give background information, technical tips and experimental protocols.
