Advances and Applications ThroughFungal Nanobiotechnology

978-3-319-42989-2

• The first comprehensive volume on fungalnanobiotechnology

• The latest results to improve crop yieldsby managing fungal disease

• Written by an esteemed group of world-leading authorities from around the globe

Fungal nanobiotechnology has emerged as oneof the key technologies, and an eco-friendly, asa source of food and harnessed to ferment andpreserve foods and beverages, as well asapplications in human health (antibiotics, anti-cholesterol statins, and immunosuppressiveagents), while industry has used fungi for large-scale production of enzymes, acids,biosurfactants, and to manage fungal diseasein crops and pest control. With the harnessingof nanotechnology, fungi have grownincreasingly important by providing a greeneralternative to chemically synthesizednanoparticles.

It relies on innovative real spacecomputational methods of the time-dependentspreading of electronic wave packets. First auniversal scaling law of the elastic mean freepath versus the average grain size is predictedfor polycrystalline morphologies, and chargemobilities of up to 300.000 cm2/V.s aredetermined for 1 micron grain size, whileamorphous graphene membranes are shown tobehave as Anderson insulators.
