Frontiers Of Fungal Diversity In India brings together theinformation available till date on various aspects of fungal diversity in Indiansub-continent. The Indian sub-continent is characterized with diversetopography, climatic conditions and vegetation, and correspondingly thissub-continent is adorned with immense fungal diversity. This compilation throwslight on the diversity and bioremediation, biosynthesis of gold nanoparticlesemploying fungal organisms, biotechnological and molecular approaches in characterizationof fungal diversity, biological control, new approaches on fungal diversityincluding heavy metal toxicities and resistance in fungi, alkaloid biosynthesisand complxone siderophores as iron transport compounds in some group of fungalorganisms. An account is also presented on fungal cellulases in novel industrialapplication, aflatoxin contamination, toxicosis and preventive measures. A majorpart of this book is devoted to discuss the recent trends and current status ofdiversity of fungal forms or groups thereof including thermophilic fungi,keratinolytic fungi, rust fungi, agaricales, acellular slime fungi, fleshyfungi, Alternaria species associated with cucurbitaceous vegetables and fungaldiversity in forest ecosystems. Habitat diversity has also been discussed withreference to indoor and outdoor environments. Some chapters have also beendevoted to discuss the biodiversity of fungal forms as biocontrol agents andtheir commercial application in agriculture and human life. ISBN - 9788185860923
