Abstract
Exserohilum sodomii sp. nov., is described. This new species was isolated from a soil sample from the Dead Sea surroundings. Its main physiological properties, as well as the influence of temperature and salts concentration in the culture medium on growth and morphology of the fungus were investigated and discussed.
