Abstract excerpt
Analysis of ITS rDNA of the black yeast Exophiala dermatitidis revealed a close phylogenetic relationship to the meristematic fungus Sarcinomyces phaeomuriformis. As most strains of S. phaeomuriformis have a yeast-like phenotype corresponding to the anamorph genus Exophiala, a new combination in Exophiala is proposed. On the basis of ITS sequence, M-13 fingerprint and SSU intron data, two main entities could be...
