dc.description.abstract	The black yeast Hortaea werneckii was isolated from ypersaline solar salterns, considered as its primary ecological niche, as well as from brackish waters of mangroves, which has not been reported thus far. None of the isolates showed an obligate requirement of salt for growth, but grew optimally with 5-10 percent salt, with maximal tolerance of 20 percent salt, being facultative halophiles.
