Preface
The reader is referred to the new Springer book Biotechnology of Yeasts and Filamentous Fungi. The proposed topic is quite important as biotechnology of yeasts and filamentous fungi is apparently the largest branch of biotechnology in terms of annual sales. It is enough to tell that yeast is responsible for the production of nearly 100 billion liters of fuel ethanol per year and much more of alcoholic beverages. Fungal antibiotics have the largest market among all anti-infectives. A huge market relies on the traditional use of S. cerevisiae for baking. Yeasts and fungi are responsible for production of glycerol, lipids, organic acids, vitamins, and other low-molecular-weight compounds as well as enzymes. There are several popular yeast platforms for expression of heterologous proteins of pharmaceutical, food, agricultural, and industrial importance, which have a large and steadily growing market. Finally, yeast and fungal enzymes and intact cells are widely used for analytical purposes as components of enzymatic kits and biosensors. This book contains 14 chapters which cover the latest achievements in the tradition
