Summary

This work reveals how W. dermatitidis has adapted to stress and survives in diverse environments, including during human infections, and identifies a two-gene cluster involved in nucleotide sugar metabolism conserved with a subset of fungi and characterize a horizontal transfer event of this cluster between fungi and algal viruses.
