Stress tolerance of three opportunistic black yeasts [PDF]

Acta Biologica Slovenica, 2018
Many species of black yeasts can survive extremely harsh conditions and can quickly adapt to novel environments. These traits were proposed to have a role in the ability of some fungal species tocolonise indoor habitats inhospitable for majority of ...

CO₂ and Acidification of Low-Salt Brine Promote Some Yeasts and Penalize Bacteria in Naturally Brined Black Table Olive Fermentation [PDF]

Foods
Naturally fermented black table olives are typically processed in brine with a high NaCl content. Since salt is responsible for several cardiovascular problems, methods are needed to reduce the salt (NaCl) content in the olive flesh.

A New Extremotolerant Ecotype of the Fungus Pseudotaeniolina globosa Isolated from Djoser Pyramid, Memphis Necropolis, Egypt

Journal of Fungi, 2021
Most of the rock-inhabiting fungi are meristematic and melanized microorganisms often associated with monument biodeterioration. In previous microbial profiling of the Egyptian Djoser pyramid, a Pseudotaeniolina globosa isolate was found.

Black Molds and Melanized Yeasts Pathogenic to Humans [PDF]

Cold Spring Harbor Perspectives in Medicine, 2014
A review is given of melanized fungi involved in human infection, including species forming budding cells and strictly filamentous representatives. Classically, they are known as "phaeoid" or "dematiaceous" fungi, and, today, agents are recognized to belong to seven orders of fungi, of which the Chaetothyriales and Pleosporales are the most important ...
