"Sustainable Utilization of Fungi in Agriculture and Industry covers current knowledge about different fungal microorganisms, including economically important filamentous fungi and yeasts. 22 chapters summarize information about scientific investigations and the application of fungi in the production of industrial enzymes, organic acids (citric acid, lactic acid, etc.), biofuel (ethanol and hydrogen) and bioactive compounds for sustainable processes in agriculture, bioremediation, and the industrial production of pharmaceuticals.
 
 
 
Each chapter gives an updated and detailed account on fungal microbes and their sustainable utilization in agriculture, white biotechnology, and other valuable industrial applications. Contributions are written by experts in mycology and industrial biotechnology, presenting a broad perspective of the field in a simple, yet engaging style.
 
 
 
Sustainable Utilization of Fungi in Agriculture and Industry is an informative reference for general readers, trainees, interested in sustainability measures in agriculture and industry. The book also serves as a resource for scholars, students and teachers involved in botany, microbiology, biotechnology and life sciences courses."
