Abstract
During surveys of extremophilic fungi in hypersaline, alkaline lakes of Wadi-El-Natron, Egypt, an interesting fungus was recovered from a mud sample collected from Lake Hamra in Wadi-El-Natron, Egypt. Maximum likelihood analysis of Internal Transcribed Spacer (ITS) gene along with morphological comparisons of related taxa revealed a novel taxon, Paracremonium moubasheri which is described and illustrated in the current study. Paracremonium moubasheri can be distinguished from the known species of the genus by its large conidia, in addition to the presence of chlamydospores.
