Fungal Spore Physiology

This is a kind of reference book directly dealing with the study of fungal spore physiology, biochemistry and microbiology. This is simply a collection of research papers being published by authors in a book form. In fact, this is a planned work being framed in different chapters. The present book deals with the study of fungal spores with special reference to Aspergillus niger van Tieghem. In this book, a research based physiological and biochemical studies on dormant as well as germinating A. niger conidia have been described. And, this is done in such a way that one can easily understand the entire picture of fungal spores physiology in a very lucid manner. Further, dry harvest of spores by an improved vacuum collector, use of dry weight of the spores as the criterion of quantification and the study of a number of physiological and biochemical parameters are some of the most notable features of the book. The present book is not a paragon but might be the plethora of good informations having some hidden facts on fungal spore physiology. We hope, this reference book will surely be useful to researchers, scientists, professors and academicians working in the same field.
