Trichoderma And Gliocladium, Volume 2

This second volume of two, describes the commercial uses of "Trichoderma" and "Gliocladium", including an in depth discussion of the degradation of polysaccharides and macromolecules by fungal enzymes. Fungi belonging to the genera Trichoderma and Gliocladium are soil- bourne saprophytes which have been used for industrial and agricultural applications for decades. Some strains produce enzymes and antibiotics while others are useful as biological agents for the protection of plants against pathogens.
