Phenotypic Characterization and Comparative Genomics of the Melanin-Producing Yeast <i>Exophiala lecanii-corni</i> Reveals a Distinct Stress Tolerance Profile and Reduced Ribosomal Genetic Content

Phenotypic Characterization and Comparative Genomics of the Melanin-Producing Yeast <i>Exophiala lecanii-corni</i> Reveals a Distinct Stress Tolerance Profile and Reduced Ribosomal Genetic Content

The black yeast <i>Exophiala lecanii-corni</i> of the order Chaetothyriales is notable for its ability to produce abundant quantities of DHN-melanin. While many other <i>Exophiala</i> species are frequent causal agents of human infection, <i>E. lecanii-corni</i> C...
