Aspergillus and Penicillium in the Post-genomic Era

Aspergillus and Penicillium in the Post-genomic EraRonald P. de Vries, Isabelle Benoit Gelber and Mikael Rørdam Andersen present a new book on Aspergillus and Penicillium in the Post-genomic Era This book highlights some of the changes in the studies into these fungi, since the availability of genome sequences. The contributions vary from insights in the taxonomy of these genera, use of genomics for forward genetics and genomic adaptations, to specific stories addressing virulence, carbon starvation, sulphur metabolism, feruloyl esterases, secondary metabolism and pH modulation, to the development of novel methodology for use in parallel to genome sequencing. It therefore provides a taste of the current status of research in Penicillium and Aspergillus and a promise of many more things to come. An essential reference for everyone working with Aspergillus and Penicillium and other filamentous fungi and the book is also recommended reading for everyone with an interest in fungal genomics. read more ...Aspergillus and Penicillium in the Post-genomic EraEdited by: Ronald P. de Vries, Isabelle Benoit Gelber and Mikael Rørdam Andersen Caister Academic PressBook: ISBN 978-1-910190-39-5 £179, $319.
