Conidiophores of Fonsecaea pedrosoi. Image by James Scott, photographed in Nomarski Differential Interference Contrast microscopy at 500X from slide culture of Fonsecaea pedrosoi grown on Modified Leonian's agar.

The genome sequence and gene prediction of Fonsecaea monophora CBS 269.37 have not been determined by the JGI, but were downloaded from NCBI on June 1, 2017. In order to allow comparative analyses with other fungal genomes sequenced by the Joint Genome Institute, a copy of this genome is incorporated into Mycocosm. Please note that this copy of the genome is not maintained by NCBI and is therefore not automatically updated. JGI tools were used to automatically annotate predicted proteins.

Three Fonsecaea species infect humans including F. monophora, F. nubica, and F. pedrosoi. They are morphologically indistinguishable, grow at 37C but not at 40C and cause chromoblastomycosis.
