Springer Yeast Diversity in Human Welfare - Science Book

Explore the vast world of eukaryotic microfungi with Yeast Diversity in Human Welfare, published by Springer. This comprehensive resource provides updated information on yeast diversity, molecular features, and their practical applications for human benefit. Yeasts are found in diverse natural environments, including extreme conditions characterized by low oxygen, low water availability, or low temperatures. While a small number of species act as opportunistic pathogens in humans and animals, the majority of the estimated 30,000 to 45,000 species on Earth offer significant value to mankind. This book covers the approximately 2,000 described species across around 200 genera, making it an essential text for those studying biological sciences and biochemistry.
