Abstract excerpt
The black yeast Hortaea werneckii is known to be a causative agent of human tinea nigra but is also found in the environment. Strains from dissimilar sources were studied by polymerase chain reaction fingerprinting of nuclear DNA, using primers annealing to repetitive and random sequences. The seven groups found correspond to those known from restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) studies of the...
