Es. Jacobson et Mj. Tingler, STRAINS OF CRYPTOCOCCUS-NEOFORMANS WITH DEFINED CAPSULAR PHENOTYPES, Journal of medical and veterinary mycology, 32(5), 1994, pp. 401-404
The polysaccharide capsule is a virulence factor in the opportunistic
yeast pathogen, Cryptococcus neoformans. We describe a collection of s
trains which were isolated or constructed to exhibit defined capsular
phenotypes. The collection includes strains with wild-type, acapsular
and hypercapsular traits.
