About this book
Reading this book should kindle further discussions among researchers working in fungal biotechnology, microbiology, agriculture, environmental science, forestry, and other allied subjects and thus lead to a broader scope of Trichoderma-based products and technologies. The knowledge shared in this book should also provide a warning on the potential risks associated with Trichoderma.

Dr. Irina S. Druzhinina is a professor of Microbiology in the College of Resources and Environmental Sciences in Nanjing Agricultural University (China), head of the International Committee on Trichoderma Taxonomy, member of the International Committee of Taxonomy of Fungi, IUMS, and an editor of the Applied and Environmental Microbiology (AEM) journal (ASM). Before moving to China in 2019, for many years, Irina ran the group of Microbiology and Applied Genomics in TU Wien (Vienna, Austria), where she studied fungal DNA Barcoding andmolecular evolution, genomics, and ecophysiology of Trichoderma and other hypocrealean fungi. The newly established Fungal Genomics Laboratory (FungiG) in Nanjing continues the research on the genus Trichoderma, focusing on its ecological genomics and fitness. In particular, the group is interested in the development of a Trichoderma-based model for systems biology investigation of filamentous fungi. Furthermore, the group studies the function and production of fungal surface-active proteins (hydrophobins, cerato-platanins) and their role in the fungal lifestyle. The applied research of Irina and her colleagues targets the improvement of the biological degradation of synthetic polymers and the development of biological products for plant protection and growth promotion.
