Physiology of Fungi is a comprehensive university‑level textbook that presents an in‑depth treatment of the physiological and biochemical processes of fungi. The book systematically covers cellular characteristics, nutrition, enzyme systems, metabolism (carbon, nitrogen, and inorganic substances), respiration, growth, reproduction, spore germination, and fungal metabolites. Written in clear…
Cryptogamic Botany: Algae and Fungi (Volume I) is a foundational academic textbook that systematically treats the morphology, taxonomy, reproduction, physiology, and evolutionary relationships of algae and fungi. Written by leading American botanist Gilbert M. Smith, the book integrates descriptive botany with comparative and developmental perspectives, supported by extensive illustrations and …
Mycogenetics provides a comprehensive introduction to the genetics of fungi, covering fundamental concepts such as mating systems, recombination, segregation, linkage, mutation, and parasexuality across major fungal groups. Burnett integrates classical genetic analysis with experimental evidence from model organisms (e.g., Neurospora, Aspergillus, Coprinus, and yeasts), emphasizing the biologic…
The Biology of Euglena, Volume I provides a comprehensive and authoritative overview of the general biology and cellular ultrastructure of the unicellular flagellate Euglena. The volume covers morphology, cellular organization, motility, reproduction, and fine structural features revealed through light and electron microscopy. It serves as a foundational reference for researchers and advanced s…
This monograph presents a detailed morphological and ultrastructural analysis of conidial development in fungi, emphasizing the processes of conidiogenesis, septation, and secession. Using light microscopy, transmission and scanning electron microscopy, and time‑lapse studies, the authors classify and compare developmental patterns across major groups of conidial fungi. The book establishes a…
Bacterial Metabolism by H. W. Doelle provides a comprehensive and systematic treatment of the biochemical and physiological processes underlying metabolic activity in bacteria. The book examines the thermodynamics of biological reactions and the role of enzymes and free energy in microbial systems. It covers photosynthesis and photometabolism, anaerobic respiration, aerobic respiration, ferment…
This volume compiles peer‑reviewed papers presented at the First European Meeting on Bacterial Transformation (1972). It covers experimental and theoretical advances in bacterial competence, DNA uptake mechanisms, genetic recombination, and transformation systems in organisms such as Bacillus subtilis, Haemophilus influenzae, and pneumococcus. The book reflects foundational developments in mi…
Fungal Genetics is a comprehensive and authoritative textbook covering the genetic systems of fungi and their value as experimental models in biology. The book explores fundamental genetic mechanisms such as mutation, recombination, chromosome mapping, gene structure, and gene action. It also examines mating systems, sexual development, extranuclear inheritance, and the genetics of pathogenicit…
The Structure and Reproduction of the Algae is a classic and authoritative botanical monograph that provides a comprehensive account of algal biology. The work systematically examines the cellular structure, life histories, and reproductive processes of algae across major taxonomic groups. Volume I focuses on general structural features and groups such as Chlorophyceae, Xanthophyceae, Chrysoph…
This authoritative monograph consolidates dispersed global knowledge on the systematics, morphology, life histories, and zoogeography of platyhelminth (flatworm) parasites infecting amphibians, including frogs, toads, and salamanders. It provides detailed descriptions of families and genera, diagnostic keys, host associations, and geographic distributions. The work emphasizes the taxonomic sign…
