A Taxonomic Study
Hardback
Publication Date: 20/03/1998
The yeasts are a phylogenetically diverse group of fungi characterized by unicellular growth. Yeasts have been used for bread-making and brewing beverages for millennia, and have become increasingly important in biotechnology for production of fuel alcohol, organic acids, enzymes, and various pharmacologically important chemicals. Other species are serious human, animal and plant pathogens. Since publication of the 3rd edition of this book in 1984, numerous new species and genera have been described, many because of the application of new molecular biological methods. Molecular comparisons have now provided a phylogenetic distinction between the yeasts and other fungi, some of which have a unicellular growth phase. This volume is a definitive treatment of taxonomy and systematics of yeasts available, and has been prepared by an international team of experts. It is directed at taxonomists, ecologists, mycologists, microbiologists, clinicians, molecular geneticists, and biotechnologists.
