Roles of the pH signaling transcription factor PacC in Wangiella (Exophiala) dermatitidis [PDF]
Fungal Genetics and Biology, 2009 To study the function of the PacC transcription factor in Wangiella dermatitidis, a black, polymorphic fungal pathogen of humans with yeast-phase predominance, the PACC gene was cloned, sequenced, disrupted and expressed. Three zinc finger DNA-binding motifs were found at the N-terminus, and a signaling protease cleavage site at the C-terminus.

No jacket required – new fungal lineage defies dress code [PDF]
, 2012 Analyses of environmental DNAs have provided tantalizing evidence for “rozellida” or “cryptomycota”, a clade of mostly undescribed and deeply diverging aquatic fungi. Here, we put cryptomycota into perspective through consideration of Rozella , the only

Pathogenicity of a fungus resembling Wangiella dermatitidis isolated from edible mushrooms [PDF]
Applied and Environmental Microbiology, 1986 A fungus resembling the human pathogen Wangiella dermatitidis (Kano) McGinnis, a dematiaceous hyphomycete, was recovered from imported desiccated "black fungus" mushrooms (Auricularia polytrichia (Mont.) Sacc.), a food item popular in Far Eastern cuisine.

The Intracellular Location of Carotenoid Pigments in the Yeast- Phase of Wangiella Dermatitidis [PDF]
, 1985 Carotenoids in W. dermatitids were found to be associated with membranes of lipid globules and/or proteins dispersed in the lipids in the yeast-phase of the organism. The lipid globules increase in size and the pigment concentrations increase with age of
