I s Ursula Kües (Ed.) t n the year 2001, Prof. Dr. Ursula Kües was appointed at the Faculty of Forest Sciences c a p and Forest Ecology of the Georg-August-University Göttingen to the chair Molecular m Wood Production, Wood BiotechnologyW eonoddo Swuepdpl yb y the Deutsche Bundesstiftung Umwelt (DBU). Her 1 al I group studies higher fungi in basic and applied research. Research foci are on mushroom gic 108 Wood Technology, and Part I development and on fungal enzymes degrading wood and their applications in wood o ol biotechnology. n Biotechnological Impacts h c This book has been edited to thank the DBU for all support given to the chair Molecular e t o Wood Biotechnology. Contributions to the book are from scientists from Göttingen Bi recognised in different fields of forestry and wood science. Chapters presented by mem d n bers of the group Molecular Wood Biotechnology introduces into their areas of research. a , y The book is designed for interested students of wood biology and wood technology but g o will also address scientists in the field. ol n h c w e T d o o r W , n o ti c u d o r P d o o W ) . d E ( s e ü K a ul s r U ISBN-13: 978-3-940344-11-3 Universitätsverlag Göttingen Universitätsverlag Göttingen Ursula Kües (Ed.)
