商品描述
This book provides a comprehensive examination of the diverse applications and challenges of fungi, particularly in the context of Southeast Asia. It addresses two pivotal questions: How are fungi contributing to global betterment, and what challenges do they pose to our planet? By addressing these questions, the book underscores the dual role of fungi as agents of progress and sources of concern.
By integrating indigenous knowledge with contemporary scientific research, the book offers a unique perspective on the role of fungi in medicine, agriculture, food science and biodiversity conservation. The chapters include the discovery of bioactive metabolites from marine-derived fungi, the epidemiology and diagnostics of endemic mycoses, and the innovative applications of mycological nanotechnology. In agriculture, the book examines how fungi can enhance crop protection and yield, addressing food security challenges in a region heavily dependent on agriculture. Additionally, it investigates biosafety and biosecurity issues, both in laboratory settings and in broader societal contexts. Particular attention is given to the impact of climate change on fungal diversity and the role of fungi in maintaining sustainable ecosystems. The book also addresses critical questions about the socio-economic implications of fungal biotechnology and its potential to drive innovation in medicine and agriculture.
This volume is an invaluable resource for researchers, academics, and students in mycology, biotechnology, and environmental science. It is also relevant for policymakers and industry professionals interested in the applications of fungal research.

這本書全面探討了真菌的多樣應用及其挑戰，特別是在東南亞的背景下。它針對兩個關鍵問題進行討論：真菌如何促進全球的進步，以及它們對我們星球造成了什麼挑戰？通過這些問題的探討，這本書強調了真菌作為進步的推動者和關注的來源的雙重角色。
本書通過整合本土知識與當代科學研究，提供了真菌在醫學、農業、食品科學和生物多樣性保護中角色的獨特視角。各章節包括從海洋來源的真菌中發現的生物活性代謝物、地方性真菌病的流行病學與診斷，以及真菌學納米技術的創新應用。在農業方面，本書探討了真菌如何增強作物保護和產量，解決一個高度依賴農業的地區的糧食安全挑戰。此外，它還調查了生物安全和生物保安問題，無論是在實驗室環境還是在更廣泛的社會背景中。特別關注氣候變化對真菌多樣性的影響以及真菌在維持可持續生態系統中的角色。本書還探討了真菌生物技術的社會經濟影響及其在醫學和農業中推動創新的潛力。
這本書對於真菌學、生物技術和環境科學的研究人員、學者和學生來說，是一個寶貴的資源。對於對真菌研究應用感興趣的政策制定者和行業專業人士來說，這本書同樣具有相關性。
