Fungi are unlike any other living thing – they’re almost magically unique. Welcome to this astonishing world….
Fungi can appear anywhere, from desert dunes to frozen tundra. They can invade our bodies and live between our toes or our floorboards. They are unwelcome intruders or vastly expensive treats, and symbols of both death and eternal life. But despite their familiar presence, there’s still much to learn about the eruption, growth, and decay of their secret interconnected world.

Fungi and Food Spoilage


Free Download John I. Pitt, Ailsa D. Hocking, "Fungi and Food Spoilage"
English | 2022 | ISBN: 3030856380 | PDF | pages: 655 | 59.0 mb
The first three editions of Fungi and Food Spoilage established, then consolidated, a reputation as the leading book on foodborne fungi. It details media and methods for isolation and identification, descriptions of species, and information on their physiology, ecology and mycotoxin formation. It is an invaluable reference for food microbiologists investigating fungal food spoilage problems, both in field crops and processed foods, and the likelihood of mycotoxin production in either.

Opportunistic Fungi, Nematode and Plant Interactions Interplay and Mechanisms


Free Download Opportunistic Fungi, Nematode and Plant Interactions: Interplay and Mechanisms by Mohd. Sayeed Akhtar
English | PDF EPUB (True) | 2024 | 226 Pages | ISBN : 9819720443 | 9.8 MB
This book covers the fundamental and applied characteristics of opportunistic (OP) fungi, plant parasitic nematodes (PPN), and plant interactions. Fungal behavior and cultivation, physiological and molecular changes in relation to hosts and pathogens, and the mechanistic aspects of their management strategies are also covered in this volume. In the diverse agro-climatic conditions of the world, PPN has been identified as the most damaging pest to a variety of commercial and agro-important crop plants. Various chemical nematicides have been widely employed to treat nematode infection in recent decades, but use of these chemicals has been restricted due to widespread concerns about human health and environmental safety. In this regard, rhizospheric microorganisms can act as a first line of defense against pathogen attacks on the root and play a critical role in the management of plant diseases caused by PPN. The OP might directly parasitize the PPN by secreting metabolic chemicals that affect the viability of one or more phases of the nematode’s life cycle.
