Reviews

From the book reviews: All the chapters are well organized and each chapter contains an abstract at the beginning and a note or conclusion at the last that can be very useful for the reader. This book is very important to scientists, researchers and teachers as well as students who are interested in microbial carotenoids and commercial production. This book therefore should be available in all schools, biotechnology laboratories, community and university libraries. (Kasun M. Thambugala and Paul G. Mungai, Fungal Diversity, December, 2014)
