| Aim: To introduce the chemical diversity within fungal secondary metabolites. This will be done through chemical analyses of fungi using HPLC, GC, TLC and mass spectrometry. The biosynthesis, biological impact, chemotxonomical significance, and toxicology of selected mycotoxins will be highlighted. Through this theory and practical experience in modern HPLC, GC and mass spectrometry will be given to the students. This knowledge is useful within biotechnology, environmental sciences, natural products chemistry and pharmacology. |
| Remarks: Students who are particularly interested in mycology courses that deal with biotechnology, taxonomy, physiology, metabolites and ecology are recommended to check the course catalogue of Öresund Mycology School; http://www.bot.ku.dk/oms/. |
