ABSTRACT: Black microcolonial
fungi and black yeasts are inhabitants of extreme environments like vulcanic,
desert and polar regions, where they are exposed to enhanced temperature
alterations and desiccation. They have
developed, therefore, extraordinary biologic characteristics which are mainly based on the expression of proteins, however,
these are rarely studied and known. The review article presented here is focused
on the obstacles and solutions for the proteomic analyses of this very
particular fungal species.
