". . .A very good arrangement of the chapters facilitates the reading of the book and well-chosen schemes, formulae, and figures correspond well to the contents of the book and contribute to its better understanding. "---Acta Physiologiae Plantarum". . .Because of its interdisciplinary approach, [it is recommended] not only to mycologists and microbiologists but also to molecular geneticists, biochemists, and bioinorganic chemists. "---Folia Microbiologica". . .amply illustrated with an extensive bibliography. . .essential reading for anyone working with metals and fungi and also important for those with a wider perspective on the increasing and important use of fungi as model eukaryotes.
