Description

"The aim of this book is the introduce chemists to the range of structures of fungal metabolites. The book describes the progress in the elucidation of the structures of fungal metabolites from chemical degradation to spectroscopic analysis and to show how these diverse structures may be rationalised in biosynthetic terms. There are separate chapters on laboratory methods for cultivating fungi, the role of fungal metabolites as phytotoxins and mycotoxins and the use of fungi in biotransformations." "The Chemistry of Fungi will be particularly useful to anybody about to embark on a career in chemical microbiology by providing an overall perspective of fungal metabolites as well as an essential reference tool for more general chemists."--BOOK JACKET.
