Download or read book The Yeasts written by Cletus Kurtzman and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2011-05-09 with total page 2362 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Yeasts: A Taxonomic Study is a three-volume book that covers the taxonomic aspect of yeasts. The main goal of this book is to provide important information about the identification of yeasts. It also discusses the growth tests that can be used to identify different species of yeasts, and it examines how the more important species of yeasts provide information for the selection of species needed for biotechnology. • Volume 1 discusses the identification, classification and importance of yeasts in the field of biotechnology. • Volume 2 focuses on the identification and classification of ascomycetous yeasts. • Volume 3 deals with the identification and classification of basidiomycetous yeasts, along with the genus Prototheca. - High-quality photomicrographs and line drawings - Detailed phylogenetic trees - Up-to-date, clearly presented yeast taxonomy and systematic, easy-to-use reference sequence accession numbers to allow for correct identification

Download or read book The Yeasts A Taxonomic Study written by Cletus Kurtzman and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 1998-03-20 with total page 1075 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The yeasts are a phylogenetically diverse group of fungi characterized by unicellular growth. Yeasts have been used for bread making and brewing beverages for millennia, and have become increasingly important in biotechnology for production of fuel alcohol, organic acids, enzymes, and various pharmacologically important chemicals. Other species are serious human, animal, and plant pathogens. Since publication of the 3rd edition of this book in 1984, numerous new species and genera have been described, many because of the application of new molecular biological methods. Molecular comparisons have now provided a phylogenetic distinction between the yeasts and other fungi, some of which have a unicellular growth phase. This book is the most definitive treatment of taxonomy and systematics of yeasts available and has been prepared by an international team of experts and is directed at taxonomists, ecologists, mycologists, microbiologists, clinicians, molecular geneticists, and biotechnologists.

Download or read book The Yeasts written by N.J.W. Kreger-van Rij and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2013-10-22 with total page 1101 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This impressive volume presents 60 genera and 500 species of yeasts. The aims of The Yeasts is two-pronged -first, presenting and discussing a classification of yeasts including diagnoses of genera and descriptions of species, and second, providing methods for the identification of yeast strains. Knowledge of the basidioporogenous yeasts has increases considerably in recent years. These yeasts are now classified in two taxonomically different groups, the teliospore-forming yeasts and the Filobasidiaceae. There are also other basidiomycetous fungi, such as the Tremellales, with a yeast phase in their life cycle. The descriptions of the yeast states of several of these species have been included in this edition. The taxonomic system proposed is a large step in the evolution of a satisfactory classification. More than 1000 pages of information from 16 contributors -well laid out and easy to consult, classified for easy access. The Fourth Revised Edition, edited by C.P. Kurtzman and J. Fell, is due for publication in 1998.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Motivated by the explosion of molecular data on humans-particularly data associated with individual patients-and the sense that there are large, as-yet-untapped opportunities to use this data to improve health outcomes, Toward Precision Medicine explores the feasibility and need for "a new taxonomy of human disease based on molecular biology" and develops a potential framework for creating one. The book says that a new data network that integrates emerging research on the molecular makeup of diseases with clinical data on individual patients could drive the development of a more accurate classification of diseases and ultimately enhance diagnosis and treatment. The "new taxonomy" that emerges would define diseases by their underlying molecular causes and other factors in addition to their traditional physical signs and symptoms. The book adds that the new data network could also improve biomedical research by enabling scientists to access patients' information during treatment while still protecting their rights. This would allow the marriage of molecular research and clinical data at the point of care, as opposed to research information continuing to reside primarily in academia. Toward Precision Medicine notes that moving toward individualized medicine requires that researchers and health care providers have access to very large sets of health- and disease-related data linked to individual patients. These data are also critical for developing the information commons, the knowledge network of disease, and ultimately the new taxonomy.

This book was released on with total page 68 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: : The class Cyanophyceae are the simplest living autotrophic prokaryotes. In the present study, the diversity of fresh water algae (Cyanophyceae) Tirunelveli District, seven sites were selected for the collection of algae. A total number of 32 species were collected from different localities. These algal taxa are classified into four families such as Chroococcaceae, Oscillatoriaceae, Nostocaceae and Rivulariaceae. 5 species belong to 4 genera are under Chroococcaceae, 13 species of 5 genera under Oscillatoriaceae, 10 species of 5 genera under Nostocaceae and 4 species of 4 genera under Rivulariaceae.

Download or read book Typologies and Taxonomies written by Kenneth D. Bailey and published by SAGE. This book was released on 1994-06-13 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How do we group different subjects on a variety of variables? Should we use a classification procedure in which only the concepts are classified (typology), one in which only empirical entities are classified (taxonomy), or some combination of both? In this clearly written book, Bailey addresses these questions and shows how classification methods can be used to improve research. Beginning with an exploration of the advantages and disadvantages of classification procedures including those typologies that can be constructed without the use of a computer, the book covers such topics as clustering procedures (including agglomerative and divisive methods), the relationship among various classification techniques (including the relationship of monothetic, qualitative typologies to polythetic, quantitative taxonomies), a comparison of clustering methods and how these methods compare with related statistical techniques such as factor analysis, multidimensional scaling and systems analysis, and lists classification resources. This volume also discusses software packages for use in clustering techniques.
