| characterization of fungi from hypersaline environments of solar salterns using morphological and molecular techniques. | the cabo rojo solar salterns located on the southwest coast of puerto rico are composed of two main ecosystems (i.e., salt ponds and microbial mats). even though these locations are characterized by high solar radiation (mean light intensity of 39 mol photons m-2d-1) they harbour a diverse microscopic life. we used morphological and molecular techniques to identify a series of halotolerant fungi. a total of 183 isolates and 36 species were cultured in this study. from the water from the salt pon ... | 2006 | 16904880 |
