Fungi bio-prospects in sustainable agriculture, environment and nano-technology
Extremophilic fungi and myco-mediated environmental management
Fungi Bio-prospects in Sustainable Agriculture, Environment and Nanotechnology, Volume Two: Extremophilic Fungi and Myco-mediated Environmental Management explores varied aspects of fungal biology and their relevance in microbiology and agriculture, thus allowing for better insights on basic and advanced biotechnological application in human welfare and sustainable agriculture. Chapters throw light on different sectors of fungi, including fungi in extreme circumstances, bioremediation, complex and toxic effluents, and mycoremediation. The book was designed to explore the possibility of huge fungal diversity for present and future generation in different sectors of human life. Volume Two focuses on extremophilic fungi and myco-mediated environmental management.- Summarizes various aspects of fungi in the field of microbiology, sustainable agriculture, nano-technology and environment- Describes the molecular approaches and gene expression of fungi- Provides a deeper understanding of fungi that could be articulated in various fields.
