The extremely halotolerant black yeast Hortaea werneckii - a model for intraspecific hybridization in clonal fungi

Abstract The polymorphic black yeast Hortaea werneckii (Capnodiales, Ascomycota) is extremely halotolerant (growth from 0 to 30% [w/v] NaCl) and has been extensively studied as a model for halotolerance in Eukaryotes for over two decades. Its most frequent sources are hypersaline environments and ad...
