Description
This reference covers the taxonomy, diversity, bioactivity, and nanotechnology involved in the study of Phoma. It presents the most recent molecular taxonomic approach, secondary metabolites, combating microbial threats and biohazards, and its use in nanotechnology from a basic research to an applied perspective. Expert contributors provide the latest research and applications to present thorough coverage of an important genus in human and plant pathology and bio management.
Addresses the key issues in enigmatic taxonomy of the genus Phoma, and provides the current trends in taxonomyDiscusses different secondary metabolites, their bioactivities (antifungal, antibacterial, antiviral, antiprotozoal, cytotoxic and herbicidal, etc.) and formulationsPresents the role of different Phoma spp. in nanobiotechnology for synthesis of nanoparticlesProvides the fossil-based evolutionary trends in Phoma spp.
