Biochemistry and Molecular Biology

The Series
The fungi represent a heterogeneous assemblage of eukaryotic microorganisms and have become favored organisms for research at the cellular and molecular level. Such research involvement has been stimulated by interest in the biotechnological application of fungi in processes related to industry, agriculture and ecology. Considering both yeasts and mycelial fungi, The Mycota highlights developments in both basic and applied research and presents an overview of fungal systematics and cell structure. Foremost authorities in research on mycology have been assembled to edit and contribute to the volumes.

This Volume
The third volume includes: Membrane Systems and Transport, Responses to Physical Stress, Transcription, Chromosome Replication, Metabolic Pathways and Regulation.
