Adaptation to high salt concentrations in halotolerant/ halophilic fungi: a molecular perspective

Adaptation to high salt concentrations in halotolerant/ halophilic fungi: a molecular perspective

Molecular studies of salt tolerance of eukaryotic microorganisms have until recently been limited to the baker’s yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae and a few other moderately halotolerant yeast. Discovery of the extremely halotolerant and adaptable fungus Hortaea werneckii and the obligate halophile Wal...
