Freshwater Mycology: Perspectives of Fungal Dynamics in Freshwater Ecosystems

Description:

Freshwater Mycology: Perspectives of Fungal Dynamics in Freshwater Ecosystems presents chapters from expert contributors around the world. Through the contributed chapters, the contributors explore the perspectives of Fungal Dynamics in Freshwater Ecosystems, especially their diversity, distribution, functioning and role, Biotransformation and bioprospecting potential, methodical advancements, and metagenomic insights. This is becoming an increasingly important topic to understand due to the increasing global transports of microbes due to climate change and human actions. This is leading to a rapid loss of healthy freshwater ecosystems, the grave problem of antibiotic resistance and the rarity of qualified mycology taxonomists and molecular systematicians. Written with the Aquatic Ecologist in mind, Freshwater Mycology provides information on oceanic, estuarine and freshwater ecosystems not currently well understood, and identifies new questions and answer about the roles of Mycology in aquatic ecosystems.
