Effects of disrupting the polyketide synthase gene
BMC Microbiology, 2006 Background Wangiella dermatitidis is a human pathogenic fungus that is an etiologic agent of phaeohyphomycosis. W. dermatitidis produces a black pigment that has been identified as a dihydroxynaphthalene melanin and the production of this pigment is ...

Exophiala (Wangiella) dermatitidis and cystic fibrosis – Prevalence and risk factors [PDF]
Medical Mycology, 2010 The objective of this prospective study was to assess the prevalence of Exophiala dermatitidis in respiratory secretions of patients with cystic fibrosis (CF) and to identify risk factors for its presence. The results of all cultures performed over a 2-year period in non lung-transplant patients in our CF clinic were included in the study.
