The commercial impact of molds is also measured on a negative scale since some of these organisms are significant as pathogens of crop plants, agents of food spoilage, and sources of toxic and carcinogenic compounds. Recent advances in the molecular genetics of filamentous fungi are finding increased application in the pharmaceutical, agricultural, and enzyme industries, and this trend promises to continue as the genomics of fungi is explored and new techniques to speed genetic manipulation become available.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis volume focuses on the filamentous fungi and highlights the advances of the past decade, both in methodology and in the understanding of genomic organization and regulation of gene and pathway expression.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2012-10-21\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e ISBN-10: 9781461346944\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9781461346944\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-1-4419-8859-1\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 445\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44317531144332,"sku":"9781461346944","price":49.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9781461346944_865eadee-b429-46d7-9aca-170a8313e6e3.jpg?v=1755009586","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9781461346944","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
