AAM: Fungal Stress Mechanisms and Responses explores the adaptive strategies and biotechnological applications of fungi under stress conditions. This volume features an array of reviews by experts in the field, reviewing different aspects of fungal stress responses. The initial three chapters focus on stress in fungal insect pathogens, while chapters 4–6 address the impact of stressful environmental conditions on fungi used for bioremediation. The last chapter investigates the molecular aspects of copper homeostasis in human fungal pathogens. This volume offers a comprehensive collection of findings that help our understanding of fungal stress responses and their applications in agriculture, medicine, and the environment.

Dr. Drauzio Eduardo Naretto Rangel is a researcher at Inbioter – Institute of Biotechnology Rangel, Itatiba, SP, Brazil. His research has mostly focused on entomopathogenic fungi, which are used for biological control of insects. He is especially interested in how these fungi tolerate different stress conditions, such as solar UV radiation and heat found in the crop environment, as well as the chemical environment (osmotic, oxidative, and nutritive stress) inside the insect body, and how to improve their tolerance so they can survive better in the field conditions. Rangel received his undergraduate degree from São Francisco University (1983) and his master's in microbiology from São Paulo State University in Jaboticabal (2000), both in Brazil. Rangel then joined Donald W. Roberts at Utah State University, Logan, UT, USA, where he obtained his PhD (2006). In 2014, Rangel created the International Symposium on Fungal Stress (ISFUS).
