Recent Trends in Microbiology Mycology and Plant Pathology

The Recent trends in Microbiology, Mycology and Plant Pathology is compilation of articles contributed by well known researchers, scientists and academicians. The content of this book is prepared to facilitate the importance of various aspects of Microbiology, Mycology and Plant Pathology. The subject matter of this book has been conceived and presented with applications of the three branches of biology to bring the awareness about the role of microorganisms, fungi and pathogens in day today life.

This section emphasises on beneficial microbial life, mycorrhizae, cyanobacteria and some techniques to study various organisms were narrated very neatly. Second section focused mainly on aspects of mycology particularly the antioxidants; secondary metabolites, enzymes of fungal origin and their importance for the human welfare have been discussed.
