Fungal Stress Database (FSD)--a repository of fungal stress physiological data.

ABSTRACT: The construction of the Fungal Stress Database (FSD) was initiated and fueled by two major goals. At first, some outstandingly important groups of filamentous fungi including the aspergilli possess remarkable capabilities to adapt to a wide spectrum of environmental stress conditions but the underlying mechanisms of this stress tolerance have remained yet to be elucidated. Furthermore, the lack of any satisfactory interlaboratory standardization of stress assays, e.g. the widely used stress agar plate experiments, often hinders the direct comparison and discussion of stress physiological data gained for various fungal species by different research groups. In order to overcome these difficulties and to promote multilevel, e.g. combined comparative physiology-based and comparative genomics-b
