In recent years, new yeast species have proven their value and novel
biotechnological applications have emerged. This book compiles the
multi-faceted genetic repertoire of several yeasts relevant to modern
biotechnology, and describes their utilization in research and
application in the light of their genetic make-up and physiological
characteristics. Moreover, the book presents a thorough overview of a
wide array of methodologies from classical genetics to modern genomics
technologies that have been and are being used in functional analysis of
yeasts.
