Many fungi, however, propagate as yeasts or alternate between the yeast and mycelial form. Both growth forms have in common that they are manifestations of polarized cytoplasmic activities. A large part of this Volume of The Mycota therefore deals with growth and differentiation in both yeast-like and mycelial fungi and also the transition between them. Sexuality is the other main topic of this Volume.
This volume is an update of Volume I of the series The Mycota, which appeared more than ten years ago.Contents:
