Molecular Biology and its Application to Medical Mycology
Springer Berlin (Verlag)
978-3-642-84627-4 (ISBN)
Presented here are recent achievements in molecular biology
of non-pathogenic yeast and filamenous fungi as well as of
human pathogens. Thebook is diveded into 4 sections:
- Molecular Biology of Yeast;
- Molecular Biology of Filamenous Fungi;
- New Tools and Prospectives for Medical Mycology;
- Fungal Morphogenesis.
It focuses on aspects of medical mycology, namely isolation
of specific genes and strategies for developing new targets
for antifungal therapy.
