From Glacier to Sauna: RNA-Seq of the Human Pathogen Black Fungus Exophiala dermatitidis under Varying Temperature Conditions Exhibits Common and Novel Fungal Response. [PDF]
Exophiala dermatitidis (Wangiella dermatitidis) belongs to the group of the so-called black yeasts. Thanks in part to its thick and strongly melanized cell walls, E.

Temperature-sensitive multicellular mutants of Wangiella dermatitidis [PDF]
Three temperature-sensitive morphological mutants of Wangiella dermatitidis were isolated and characterized. The mutants grew in the yeastlike morphology at the permissive temperature (25 degrees C) but expressed a multicellular (Mc) phenotype at the restrictive temperature (37 degrees C). Cultures of Mc 2 and 3 incubated at the restrictive temperature

Induction of synchronous growth in the yeast phase of Wangiella dermatitidis [PDF]
Synchronous yeast-phase cultures of Wangiella dermatitidis were induced by starvation, heat shock, and inhibition of deoxyribonucleic acid synthesis by hydroxyurea. Hydroxyurea-induced synchrony resulted in some distortion of the yeast-phase cell cycle.
