Overview
"This book brings together recent advances in the cell biology, physiology and genetics of growth and differentiation of filamentous fungi. Many advances have been achieved through the application of new cytological, biochemical and molecular techniques to the study of filamentous fungi. The book is divided into five main sections: the growing fungus; the architecture of fungal cells; metabolism and genetic regulation; coordination of growth and division; and differentiation. An appendix is also included dealing with the taxonomic groupings of fungi. ""The Growing Fungus"" should appeal to senior undergraduates, postgraduates and research workers in mycology and microbiology. While the focus is on fundamental aspects of fungal growth, the information presented will also be relevant to those interested in the more applied aspects. This book should be of interest to postgraduates and senior undergraduates in mycology (microbiology and cell biology courses); biotechnologists, eukaryotic molecular biologists and microbial ecologists in industry."

Reviews
...each chapter is a useful source for postgraduate and some undergraduate mycology students, as well as for specialist mycologists wishing to read around mycological issues (...) Overall, the book presents a snapshot picture of contemporary fungal research, illustrating its impressive diversity and encouraging cross-fertilisation of ideas between different mycological disciplines - CAB International; A well-written, closely edited, excellent book...includes excellent discussions of cell walls, the cytoskeleton, and cellular organelles...includes outstanding chapters on fungal exoenzymes... - Choice; Upon reading the description of this 'new textbook' in the publisher's catalogue some months ago, my initial reaction almost verged on euphoria. This book is extremely comprehensive ... fellow mycologists will find this a most valuable text - SGM Quarterly; This a very good book ... [it] surely must become a standard text on the shelves of every microbiology library. - World Journal of Microbiology and Biotechnology
