Method for functional analysis of fungal transcriptome was developed and used. Method allows identification of the role of the final gene product in fungal metabolism. Using this method, genes having a key role in fungal survival in extreme environments can be identified. Method was used for analysis of halotolerance of fungi Rhodotorula mucilaginosa and for detailed analysis of several genes, improving halotolerance of non-tolerant yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
