This three-volume set is a desirable reference for a wide range of specialists who study secondary fungal metabolites ranging from pharmaceutical house researchers, agricultural researchers, those involved in food and feed control regulation, and veterinary researchers. It discusses in depth the molecular formula of, the molecular weights of, and fungal/plant source indexes of secondary fungal metabolites. It includes all major groups of secondary fungal metabolites. It covers various methods used to isolate and purify metabolites that are present. Each metabolite is supported by appropriate references. Secondary metabolite molecular formula, molecular weights and fungal/plant source indexes are included.
