Yeasts: Characteristics and Identification is the most up-to-date and comprehensive book on identifying yeasts ever published, with systematic information on each of 597 currently recognised species. The book includes 850 photomicrographs as well as keys and tables for identifying yeasts. The systematic information will facilitate the use of yeasts in industry and in academic laboratories for research and biotechnology, as well as assist identification. This important book includes the following: [I] Descriptions of 597 species, each with information on (i) the results of 91 tests, (ii) growth tenmperatures, (iii) the effect of cycloheximide on growth, (iv) DNA base composition, (v) the morphology of the cells, (vi) sexual reproduction. [II] 850 photomicrographs, about 200 of which show ascospores. [III] Nearly 4000 published yeast names listed with known current synonyms. [IV] About 1700 references given in full and checked individually for accuracy. [V] 18 identification keys. [VI] Tables with minimal lists of tests for identifying each species. [VII] Register of specific epithets giving the genera to which they have belonged. [VIII] An account of laboratory methods for identifying yeasts. [IX] A description of the way yeasts are classified.

Micro-organisms that successfully develop universality of distribution and omnivorousness of habit generally belong to groups characterized by great diversification in appearance, in morphology, and in physiological adaptation. Because of this diversity investigators encounter organisms varying in minor details and describe them as new. Of the fungi that are universally distributed and significant in incipient spoilage of organic products useful to man, members of the Aspergillus glaucus group are among the most important in their action and striking in their habit.

_____ Fungi are not like us - they are entirely, magically, something else. Welcome to the astonishing secret world of fungi. _____ Fungi can appear anywhere, from desert dunes to frozen tundra. They can invade our bodies and thoughts; live between our toes or our floorboards; they are unwelcome intruders or vastly expensive treats; symbols of both death and eternal life. But despite their familiar presence, there's still much to learn about the eruption, growth and decay of their interconnected world. Aliya Whiteley has always been in love with fungi - from a childhood taking blurry photographs of strange fungal eruptions on Exmoor to a career as a writer inspired by their surreal and alien beauty. This love for fungi is a love for life, from single-cell spores to the largest living organism on the planet; a story stretching from Aliya's lawn into orbit and back again via every continent. From fields, feasts and fairy rings to death caps, puffballs and ambrosia beetles, this is an intoxicating journey into the life of extraordinary organism, one that we have barely begun to understand. _____ ' Accessible, inviting and revelatory... Aliya Whiteley animates the hidden world of fungi in prose as rich and beautiful as the strange organisms she turns her attention to.' - Alice Tarbuck, author of A Spell in the Wild .
