Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A number of biotechnologically, industrially and environmentally important fungal organisms are found in the soil. Most studies on soil fungi deal with the quantification of fungi while only a few are available on their identification and description. In this handbook, the authors have provided an exhaustive account of the description of 317 species of soil fungi belonging to 122 genera All the species and genera are arranged alphabetically with related synonyms and special emphasis has been give to the keys to the species, genera, families, orders and related classification for easy identification. Handbook of Soil Fungi will be an important contribution to mycofloristics. It will serve as a guide to experts as well as beginners in the study of soil fungi and their enumeration and identification. The detailed laboratory methods dealing with isolation, cultivation, culture, media, preservation, slide preparation and ecological distribution of fungal species from various soils, and the glossary provided will serve as a complete manual. The morphological details of the fungal species, coupled with photomicrographs and camera lucida diagrams, are a special feature of this book. The present book is the first detailed monograph on soil fungi from the Indian subcontinent.

Download or read book Detection and Isolation of Soil Fungi written by Pierre Davet and published by . This book was released on 2000 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although there has been remarkable progress in the detection and identification of micromycetes in recent years, we still resort to empirical methods to obtain a pure culture of a fungus from a soil sample or from an infected root. Some of these methods have been reproduced in this book, just as they were first published in journals. It is for the first time that these methods have been collected in one volume. Regardless, how empirical these methods may be, they are based on some base data which is described in the first part of the book. It can be used to develop other techniques, or for preparing new selective media. The techniques and isolation media for a given fungus are presented in the second part. The species are listed in alphabetical order. Indices are given for easy reference. This concise book is intended for all those who handle soil fungi, whether for theoretical studies or practical applications.

Download or read book The Book of Fungi written by Peter Roberts and published by Ivy Press. This book was released on 2014-06-30 with total page 1987 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The fifth order of the natural kingdom is made up of an estimated 1.5 million species of fungi, found in every habitat type worldwide. The Book of Fungi takes 600 of the most remarkable fleshy fungi from around the world and reproduces each at its actual size, in full colour, and accompanied by a scientific explanation of its distribution, habitat, association, abundance, growth form, spore colour and edibility. Location maps give at-a-glance indications of each species known global distribution, and specially commissioned engravings show different fruitbody forms and provide the vital statistics of height and diameter. Theres a place, too, for readers to discover the more bizarre habits of fungi from the predator that hunts its prey with lassos to the one that entices sows by releasing the pheromones of a wild boar. Mushrooms, morels, puffballs, toadstools, truffles, chanterelles fungi from habitats spanning the poles and the tropics, from the highest mountains to our own gardens are all on display in this definitive work.
Download or read book Mycorrhiza Manual written by Ajit Varma and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 539 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mycorrhiza - symbiotic associations between plant roots and fungi - play a major role in many fundamental plant functions such as mineral nutrition or stress resistance. As the link between plants and the soil, mycorrhiza are now of great interest for developing new strategies in sustainable agriculture. Since they allow a decreased use of fertilizer and pesticides, negative impacts on the environment can be minimized. With contributions from renowned international scientists, this manual offers a great variety of practical protocols for analyzing mycorrhiza, including the latest molecular, biochemical, genetical, and physiological techniques.
Download or read book Soil Fungi and Soil Fertility written by S. D. Garrett and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2013-10-22 with total page 165 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Soil Fungi and Soil Fertility, Second Edition is an introduction to soil microbiology, incorporating significant advances in knowledge and understanding of the way micro-organisms live and function under laboratory and natural conditions. This book is comprised of nine chapters, discusses soil microbiology, and shows how the living ecosystem of the soil helps maintain soil fertility and crop production. This text begins with a description of the soil as a habitat, encompassing both its physical and chemical characteristics. The root systems, soil fauna, and soil micro-organisms or the Protist Kingdom all form the living inhabitants of the soil. The components of soil fungi from the organization and growth of its branching system called mycelium to the asexual reproduction and final dispersion are explained. This book also discusses genetic mechanisms in fungi and nuclear division that is a compensatory reduction in the number of chromosomes back to the haploid number that must occur. This text also presents a comparison of further studies of the fungal communities through microscopic and cultural methods, as well as other methods that would yield better soil fungi and soil fertility. Also considered are factors that affect the competitive saprophytic colonization of substrates by soil fungi, and then how these fungi exploit their colonized substrates for survival. This monograph then examines the root-infecting fungi through their ability to feed on living plant tissues and how a balanced host-parasite relationship actually benefits the fungi community.This book is suitable for soil mycologists, soil researchers, agriculturists, and university undergraduates interested in soil microbiology.
