“…Thus, they are regarded as promising candidates for bioremediation ( 1 ). Exophiala mesophila was originally isolated from a silicone seal in a hospital but is also frequently found in tap water, saunas, and steam bath facilities ( 2 ).…”

“…Sarcinomyces phaeomuriformis (B‐8, B‐19) was isolated twice and Exophiala mesophila Listemann & Freiesleben (B‐20) once. The only strain of this species known thus far originated from a silicone seal in a hospital shower cabin in Hamburg, Germany [24]. Furthermore, an as yet, undescribed, Exophiala species (B‐6) was encountered.…”

The black yeast Exophiala dermatitidis, an agent of fatal brain infections in East Asia, is common in European steam baths. The related fungi Sarcinomyces phaeomuriformis and Exophiala mesophila were isolated from locations in these complexes with lower ambient temperature and/or moisture. The latter two species had dry, rather than slimy, colonies and lower maximum growth temperatures (38 degrees C, 32 degrees C) than E. dermatitidis (42 degrees C). Exophiala dermatitidis produces abundant extracellular polysaccharide (EPS). The only E. dermatitidis strains lacking EPS were found outside the steam baths. Therefore it is likely that the extracellular polysaccharides commonly produced by E. dermatitidis are significant to survival under hot and moist conditions. Substrates sampled as controls, such as fruit surfaces and human faeces, yielded Exophiala dermatitidis at very low frequency.

“…Several species have been found in various natural environments [ 3 , 18 , 21 , 22 , 23 , 24 , 25 , 26 ]. Some species have been isolated from anthropogenic places and objects (e.g., bathrooms, gasoline tanks of cars, washing machines, and kitchen sponges) [ 7 , 27 , 28 , 29 ]. Moreover, some of these species have been isolated from diseased humans and animals [ 1 , 3 , 8 , 20 , 30 , 31 ].…”

The genus Exophiala is an anamorphic ascomycete fungus in the family Herpotrichiellaceae of the order Chaetothyriales. Exophiala species have been classified as polymorphic black yeast-like fungi. Prior to this study, 63 species had been validated, published, and accepted into this genus. Exophiala species are known to be distributed worldwide and have been isolated in various habitats around the world. Several Exophiala species have been identified as potential agents of human and animal mycoses. However, in some studies, Exophiala species have been used in agriculture and biotechnological applications. Here, we provide a brief review of the diversity, distribution, and taxonomy of Exophiala through an overview of the recently published literature. Moreover, four new Exophiala species were isolated from rocks that were collected from natural forests located in northern Thailand. Herein, we introduce these species as E. lamphunensis, E. lapidea, E. saxicola, and E. siamensis. The identification of these species was based on a combination of morphological characteristics and molecular analyses. Multi-gene phylogenetic analyses of a combination of the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) and small subunit (nrSSU) of ribosomal DNA, along with the translation elongation factor (tef), partial β-tubulin (tub), and actin (act) genes support that these four new species are distinct from previously known species of Exophiala. A full description, illustrations, and a phylogenetic tree showing the position of four new species are provided.

Exophiala mesophila spec. nov.

Abstract: In this paper a new fungus species, Exophiala mesophila Listemann et Freiesleben, is described. The species was isolated from silicone seals in the shower room of a hospital ward.
