Combating Fungal Infections: Problems and Remedy

Combating Fungal Infections: Problems and Remedy
Springer; First Edition | August 11, 2010 | ISBN-10: 3642121721 | 539 pages | PDF | 5.19 MB

The currently available means of combating fungal infections are weak and clumsy. The application of fungal genomics offers an unparalleled opportunity to develop novel antifungal drugs. Interestingly, several novel antifungal drug targets have already been identified and validated. However, it is premature to expect a novel antifungal agent in clinical setting as drug discovery programs are still in their infancy. In addition to classical and genomic approaches to drug discovery, treasure trove based on natural products and phytomedicine can provide a multitude of alternative modes of combating fungal infection. This book incisively addresses essential topics on various aspects pertaining to fungal diseases in human and animals, their reservoir, fungal pathogenesis, their management and recent advances in their treatment. Issues of antifungal drug toxicity, especially nephrotoxicity, are also discussed. The development of resistance in fungal pathogens, including multidrug resistance and its mechanism, is dealt with in two chapters. Diverse diagnostic approaches to fungal infections are also reviewed. The combinational drug strategies used in combating invasive fungal infections are addressed in detail. The management of pulmonary mycoses in stem cell transplantation is also given special focus.

Publisher: CABI | ISBN 10: 1845930622 | 2007 | PDF | 352 pages | 2.5 MB

Many techniques are now available for analysing the microflora of soils, plants and their rhizospheres at the molecular level. They are however, widely dispersed among reports in archive journals, which makes comparison and selection difficult for a researcher embarking on a new project. This book provides a comprehensive collection of molecular methods for studying the microbiology of soil and plants at the community, population, taxonomic and functional group levels. These methods are discussed in a critical manner by experienced international authors.

Advances in Microbial Physiology, Volume 44

Advances in Microbial Physiology, Volume 44 By Robert K. Poole
Publisher: Aca..de..mic Pre..ss 2001 | 277 Pages | ISBN: 0120277441 | PDF | 15 MB

First published in 1967, Advances in Microbial Physiology is one of Academic Press's most renowned and acclaimed series. The Editors have always striven to provide a diverse range of top-quality papers on all aspects of microbial physiology. Coverage of 'holistic' topics or whole cell studies such as ion fluxes, stress responses and motility have gone hand-in-hand with detailed biochemical analyses of individual transport systems, electron transport pathways and many aspects of metabolism.
Now edited by Professor Robert Poole, University of Sheffield, Advances in Microbial Physiology continues to publish topical and important reviews, interpreting physiology in its broadest context, to include all material that contributes to our understanding of how microorganisms and their component parts work.
In 1999, the Institute for Scientific Information released figures showing that the series has an Impact Factor of 5.35, with a half life of 8 years, placing it 5th in the highly competitive category of Microbiology; testimony to the high regard in which it is held.

Biotransformations in Organic Chemistry

Biotransformations in Organic Chemistry
Springer; 6th Edition | September 28, 2011 | ISBN-10: 3642173926 | 434 pages | PDF | 4.97 MB

The use of biocatalysts, employed either as isolated enzymes or whole microbial cells, offers a remarkable arsenal of highly selective transformations for state-of-the-art synthetic organic chemistry. Over the last two decades, this methodology has become an indispensable tool for asymmetric synthesis, not only at the academic level, but also on an industrial scale.
This well-established textbook on biocatalysis provides a basis for undergraduate and graduate courses in modern organic chemistry, as well as a condensed introduction into this field. After a basic introduction into the use of biocatalysts—principles of stereoselective transformations, enzyme properties and kinetics—the different types of reactions are explained according to the 'reaction principle', such as hydrolysis, reduction, oxidation, C–C bond formation, etc. Special techniques, such as the use of enzymes in organic solvents, immobilization techniques and modified or artificial enzymes, are treated in a separate section. A final chapter deals with thebasic rules for the safe and practical handling of biocatalysts.
