Enzymatic TransformationTransformations using enzymes have been exten-sively investigated in the last two decades and the results promise great potential for this growing field, especially in the area of synthetic organic chemistry mainly due to of its many advantages. Accordingly, this book has attempted to bring out the advantages of using enzymes involving com-plex underivatized and unprotected substrates in non-polar media under homogenous and hetero-geneous reaction conditions. Merits and demerits of using enzymes in terms of yields and selectivity/specificity are presented without any prejudice.

Features 7 This book brings out the practical difficulties in carrying out enzyme catalyzed reactions in non-polar solvent 7 It outlines various strategies adopted to enhance especially yield and selectivity in such reactions 7 Diversity of underivatized multi-functional substrates employed to highlight the difficulties involved in terms of the extent of success achieved in such reactions

New SeriesCell Death in Biology and DiseasesSeries editors: X.-M. Yin, Z. Dong

Cell death, or conversely cell survival, is a major biological phenomenon. Just as cell proliferation and cell differentiation, cell death is a choice that a cell has to make, sometimes voluntarily, other times accidentally. As such, cell death serves a purpose in the biology of a multicellular organ-ism. The machinery for cell death and that which protects against cell death are evolutionarily conserved and their elements can even be found in single-celled organism. The disruption of the cell death mechanism can often cause developmental abnormalities. Factors that can trigger cell death are diverse and cell death can directly contribute to the pathogenesis of many diseases, including cancer, neurodegenerative diseases and tissue in-jury. The molecular mechanisms of cell death and cell survival are complicated and often intertwined with other cellular machineries, such as that for cell proliferation, cell differentiation, thus casting a broadly connected signaling network. The study of cell death and cell survival has become a multi-disciplinary subject, which requires expertise from all fields of the modern biology. The exploration of the role of cell death in disease development and the modulation of cell death for treating devastating disease demands constant update of our knowledge and broadest interactions among all investigators, basic and clinical. It is thus the aim of this book series to timely summarize the new development in cell death field and to present them in a systemic way so that they could be read-ily accessible by students, researchers, and clini-cians from different disciplinarians. We hope that this availability of a detailed set of information will turn into great opportunities for new discoveries and new applications in biology and in diseases.

Fungi as BioremediatorsBiological remediation methods have been successfully used to treat polluted soils. While bacteria have produced good results in bioremedi-ation for quite some time now, the use of fungi to decontaminate soils has only recently been estab-lished. This volume of Soil Biology discusses the potentials of filamentous fungi in bioremediation. Fungi suitable for degradation, as well as geneti-cally modified organisms, their biochemistry, en-zymology, and practical applications are described. Chapters include topics such as pesticide removal, fungal wood decay processes, remediation of soils contaminated with heavy and radioactive metals, of paper and cardboard industrial wastes, and of petroleum pollutants.

Features 7 Contributions by leading international authori-ties in their fields 7 Chapters represent pioneer work and the most complete synthesis myco-remeditation 7 Provides new frontiers for future research

Contents Ecophysiology of Fungal Bioremediation.- Ap-plication of Mycoremediation Against Organic Pollutants.- Mycoremediation of Inorganic Pol-lutants.- Mycoremediation: Agricultural and Forest Ecosystem Sustainability.- Techniques in Mycoremediation.

Mound Centers and Seed SecurityA Comparative Analysis of Botanical Assemblages from Middle Woodland Sites in the Lower Illinois Valley

At Middle Woodland sites in the eastern United States, excavations have uncovered naturalistic art worked on exotic materials from points as distant Wyoming, Ontario, and the Gulf Coast, revealing a network of ritual exchange referred to as the Hopewell phenomenon. Simultaneously, Middle Woodland societies developed the earliest agri-cultural system in eastern North American using now-extinct native cultivars. Mound Centers and Seed Security: A Comparative Analysis of Botani-cal Assemblages from Middle Woodland Sites in the Lower Illinois Valley integrates an interpreta-tion of these two historical trends.

Features 7 Includes a lengthy review of literature on both Hopewell studies and Middle Woodland agriculture 7 Synthesizes both original research and research reported in archaeological “grey literature" 7 Could be used as a teaching tool in upper level archaeology methods courses

Contents Introduction.- What is Hopewell?: The Lower Illinois Valley in a Regional Context.- Middle Woodland Subsistence and Settlement in the Lower Illinois Valley.- Plant Use at Mound House.- Comparative Analysis.- Conclusions: Mounds and Seed Exchange.

Spider EcophysiologyWith over 43,000 species, spiders are the largest predacious arthropod group. They have developed key characteristics such as multi-purpose silk types, venoms consisting of hundreds of compo-nents, locomotion driven by muscles and hydrau-lic pressure, a highly evolved key-lock mechanism between the complex genital structures, and many more unique features. After 300 million years of evolutionary refinement, spiders are present in all land habitats and represent one of the most successful groups of terrestrial organisms. Eco-physiology combines functional and evolutionary aspects of morphology, physiology, biochemistry and molecular biology with ecology. Cutting-edge science in spiders focuses on the circulatory and respiratory system, locomotion and dispersal abilities, the immune system, endosymbionts and pathogens, chemical communication, gland secre-tions, venom components, silk structure, structure and perception of colours as well as nutritional re-quirements. Spiders are valuable indicator species in agroecosystems and for conservation biology.

Features 7 Comprehensive reviews of all relevant recent research results 7 With contributions by renowned spider experts 7 Presents basic biological data and potential industrial applica-tions 7 With numerous excellent illustrations

Contents Respiration and Circulatory System.- Locomotion and Dispersal.- Immune system and pathogens.- Chemical Communication and Reproduction.- Venom.- Silk.- Colouration.- Nutrition.- Ecotoxi-cology.- Applications.

Piriformospora indicaSebacinales and Their Biotechnological Applications

Sebacinales have emerged as a fascinating order with mutualistic plant-fungal symbionts that con-sists of exclusively beneficial fungi. This volume of Soil Biology presents an overview of the current results in Sebacinales research with a focus on the potential of these fungi in crop improvement and stress tolerance. The authors demonstrate that Sebacinales are not only extremely versatile in their associations with roots, but are also almost universally present as symptomless endophytes. With this extraordinary diversity, Sebacinales with the key fungus Piriformospora indica might pos-sess remarkable significance in natural ecosystems. Their biotechnological applications are expected to improve the quality of crops while maintaining ecologically and economically sustainable produc-tion systems.

Features 7 Chapters are written by leading experts in their respective field of knowledge and exper-tise 7 Provides practical laboratory proto-cols 7 The key fungus Piriformospora indica has been discovered by one of the authors/ editors
