Trichoderma And Gliocladium

Book Description

Fungi belonging to the genera Trichoderma and Gliocladium are soil- bourne saprophytes which have been used for industrial and agricultural applications for decades. Some strains produce enzymes and antibiotics while others are useful as biological agents for the protection of plants against pathogens. This second volume of two describes the commercial uses of Trichoderma and Gliocladium, beginning with an in depth discussion of the degradation of polysaccharides and macromolecules by fungal enzymes. The application of the fungi in biocontrol for agricultural purposes is then examined. The final section of this volume deals with protein production and the utilisation of Trichoderma enzymes by various industries.

Book Description

Polymerase chain reaction (PCR), a powerful method for amplifying DNA fragments, has had an enormous impact on research throughout biology. This book discusses the wide-ranging applications of PCR in pure and applied mycology. Following an overview of PCR techniques, the book contains a series of chapters where renowned mycologists describe the use of PCR in their own specialized fields. Topics include fungal gene expression and cloning, taxonomy and speciation, fungal mycobionts, mycorrhizal fungi, entomopathogenic fungi, mycotoxin-producing fungi, diagnosis of fungal animal infections, seed-borne diseases, fungal/plant interactions and applications with industrially-important fungi. The volume, which concludes with a discussion of future directions for PCR work, is an invaluable source for researchers and advanced students in all branches of mycology and for biologists and biochemists interested in molecular techniques.

Product Description

Mycorrhizae are a type of fungus formed by the relationship between plant roots and soil, and there is a widespread agreement among botanists and soil scientists that mycorrhizae are beneficial to the health and growth of soil and plants. Research into mycorrhizae has grown enormously in recent years. It is now known that these fungi have numerous properties and functions they promote plant growth, maintain plant and soil health, provide protection against root diseases, they assist production using reduced fertilizer and pesticides, they effect soil structure, nutrient acquisition, root length and root structure. Mycorrhizae have many useful modern practical applications the re-vegetation of landscapes, golf courses, contaminated soils, the prevention and retardation of leaf dehydration, the maintenance of soil and plant biodiversity to name but a few. The editors of this book have produced a valuable collection of specialised contemporary information describing state of the art and modern protocols in mycorrhizal research, compiled and presented in one authoritative volume. It will be a valued reference work for botanists, microbiologists, agricultural and soil scientists.

Book Description

Several excellent books have been published that address one or more aspects of the diverse field of industrial mycology, but none of them cover the entire process of fungal bioactive metabolites discovery. Until now. The Handbook of Industrial Mycology provides, in one volume, an overview of recent developments in industrial mycology with emphasis on the discovery of bioactive metabolites and, most importantly, their underlying biology and genetics. Two additional features distinguish this book from other books in the field: 1) most chapters are prepared using experimental data to illustrate theories and 2) the authors provide methodologies and experimental protocols in their chapters. Presenting a comprehensive overview of recent advances, the book provides a framework of basic methods, tools, and organizational principles for channeling fungal germplasm into the academic, pharmaceutical, and enzyme discovery laboratories. It covers the complex range of processes involved in the discovery, characterization, and profiling of bioactive fungal metabolites. The book includes examples of several recently marketed fungal metabolites and explores the impact of fungi on applications in the pharmaceutical, food and beverage, agricultural, and agrochemical industries.

Book Description

This volume provides an overview of both the state of the art in the traditional fields of industrial mycology as well as of the evaluation of novel applications of fungi in agriculture, environmental biology, and medicine.
The first section is devoted to the traditional use of fungi in the production and processing of food and beverages. The second section deals with different fungal metabolites and enzymes. Here, both fungal substances, e.g. antibiotics, that are part of industrial production processes and those which have not yet been developed into commercial products, but bear important potentials, are introduced. The third section treats the ability of fungi to degrade organic substances or to absorb substrates, which can be used for the purification of contaminated sites and for recycling processes. The last part presents future developments and strategies to produce heterologous proteins.

Book Description

Published twenty-five years after the defeat of the Khmer Rouge regime, In the Shadow of Angkor captures the resurgence of the Cambodian arts community and its efforts to restore a rich literary heritage. In many of the works, the artists defy the decimation of their brothers and sisters by the Khmer Rouge, as well the attempt to erase Cambodia's memory of its history. The range of expression is impressive: the volume includes poetry, short story, film, rap lyrics, and essays, plus interviews with authors and a portfolio of photographs of Cambodia.

A Hodgepodge.......2006-05-28

I make it a practice to try and read fiction from countries I'm about to visit, but was unable to find anything before I went to Cambodia for a few days last year. I later finally tracked this down, thinking it was an anthology of short stories, and was somewhat disappointed to find that it's more of a hodgepodge. The volume includes eight essays, five interviews, several poems, a short film script, photographs, a traditional folk tale, and nine short stories. I suppose it's a nice overall package, one that shows that intellectual and creative life is slowly coming back to life in the post-Khmer Rouge era, but for anyone seeking out contemporary fiction it's a little skimpy. The stories mostly failed to leave much of an impact, and it probably doesn't help that most of them were translated from Khmer into French and then again from French into English (these were originally published in 2003 in a French journal called Europe). Even the bibliography at the back isn't particularly useful for the fiction reader, as it doesn't seem to contain an novels or story collections actually written by Cambodians and available in English.

A powerful gathering of courage, of the need to write and the will to live........2006-05-23

When the Khmer Rouge came to power in 1975 under Pol Pot, the agenda was simple. Wipe out all the institutions that make up a vibrant nation: family, religion, intellectual freedom - economic freedom. Under this regime it is estimated that only 1% of all intellectuals survived this holocaust, and a once vibrant literary and oral storytelling culture was all but eliminated. Here the authors have met up with survivors as well as new writers and created a volume that puts together a collection of short stories, lyrics, poetry and interviews (for example with poet U Sam Oeur) that tell the story of this culture that flickered but was not quite extinguished. The book is by turns celebrational and forward looking (I'm reminded of motorbikes in Cambodia, most of which don't have rear-view mirrors. I asked my moto driver about this and he replied ambiguously" "We don't look back.") while also, awesomely, grounded in the realities of the dark years of war.

The writing here, expertly and sensitively translated, is powerful and contemplative, and the role of the nation's writers emerges as truly heroic. I cannot rate this book high enough.
