Description
Fungal Macromolecule Applications in Life Sciences: Biological Activity and Medical, Industrial, and Agricultural Applications provides a comprehensive guide to the diverse applications of fungal macromolecules, such as proteins, lipid carbohydrates, and nucleic acids. Chapters include an introduction to the background and importance of fungal macromolecules in various life science fields followed by a detailed overview of the methods for isolating, characterizing, and assessing the structural and functional characteristics of fungal macromolecules. The book also explores the practical applications of fungal macromolecules in the biomedical, agricultural, and industry sectors. In addition, the book explores potential uses of fungal macromolecules as pharmaceuticals, anti-cancer agents, and inhibitors of bacterial biofilm formation as well as in plant disease management, crop development, enzyme production, biosurfactants, and sustainable and functional food production. The book also examines the antimicrobial properties of fungal macromolecules and their role in managing disease and stimulating human immunology.
