About this book

Fungi enjoy great popularity in pharmaceutical, agricultural and biotechnological applications. Recent advances in the decipherment of whole fungal genomes promise an acceleration of these trends. Molecular Identification of Fungi links scientists from different parts of the world who are interested in the molecular identification of fungi combined with the exploration of the fungal biodiversity in different ecosystems.

Media reviews

"This book is about using molecular techniques for identification of fungi. [...] The book is well laid out but has few good illustrations and each chapter is provided by a special topic, so the reader can go through separately and easily. All chapters are well referenced and indexed at the back of the book. The book should be available in all university and public libraries, and research laboratories especially those who are interested in molecular phylogenetics."
- Jian-Kui Liu, Fungal Diversity, April, 2012
