CAMBRIDGE The Biology of Marine Fungi Edited by S.T. MOSS

This definitive account of the biology of both lower and higher marine and estuarine fungi reflects the recent growth of interest in these fascinating plants. The contributors are of international repute and cover four main themes - ecology, taxonomy, physiology and industrial and applied biotechnology. Within these a broad spectrum of topics is considered, including pathology of marine plants and animals, mycelial adhesion, biodeterioration and conservation. 382 pp. 1986 o 521 30899 2 £27.50 net

Ecology of Microbial Communities

Edited by M. FLETCHER, T.R.G. GRAY andJ.G.JONES The ecology of communities of micro-organisms in natural environments is very complex. Such communities are composed of mixed assemblages of variotfs types of bacteria, algae and protozoa, consequently it is extremely difficult to determine both the types of organisms which occur in various natural environments and, particularly, their physiological processes in situ This book illustrates the considerable progress made in this area, analysing microorganisms in soil and water as well as microbes isolated from these habitats.

Microbiology of the Phyllosphere Edited by NJ. FOKKEMA andJ. VAN DEN HEUVEL

The phyllosphere provides niches for a variety of microbes which in turn can influence the well-being of the host plants. This comprehensive and authoritative account of the phyllosphere is divided into five sections, which include descriptions of new techniques, the ecology of epiphytic fungi, endophytic leaf fungi, plant-pathogenic and saprophytic prokaryotes, concluding with investigations of biological control on aerial plant surfaces 392 pp. 1986 o 521 32344 4 £30.00 net

Diseases and Plant Population Biology

JEREMY J. BURDON Interactions may occur between plants and their pathogens at two levels - numerical and genetical. The first and most visually apparent is at a numerical level by killing individual plants or by reducing their reproductive output. The continuing debilitating effect of pathogens over many generations may be responsible for the appearance of a wide diversity of disease resistance mechanisms. The book aims to show that diseases have been and still are a very important feature of many nonagricultural plant communities.
