Abstract:Hortaea werneckii is a halotolerant black yeast commonly found in hypersaline environments. This yeast is also the causative agent of tinea nigra, a superficial mycosis of the palm of the hand and soles of the feet of humans. In addition to their remarkable halotolerance, this black yeast exhibits an unconventional cell division cycle. H. werneckii alternates between fission and budding cell division. This cell division cycle is regulated by cell density and the salt concentration in their media. H. werneckii … Show more
