Engineered Fluorescent Strains of Cryptococcus neoformans: a Versatile Toolbox for Studies of Host-Pathogen Interactions and Fungal Biology, Including the Viable but Nonculturable State

Microbiology Spectrum, 2022
Cryptococcus neoformans is an opportunistic fungal pathogen known for its remarkable ability to infect and subvert phagocytes. This ability provides survival and persistence within the host and relies on phenotypic plasticity.

Superoxide dismutase in Cryptococcus neoformans varieties gattii, grubii, and neoformans [PDF]

, 2006
Some clear dissimilarities occur among the varieties of Cryptococcus neoformans but there are few studies about the differences among individual yeast antioxidant enzymes. The total superoxide dismutase (SOD) activities and the copper, zinc-depend

Quantitative analysis of septin Cdc10 & Cdc3-associated proteome during stress response in the fungal pathogen Cryptococcus neoformans.

PLoS ONE
Cryptococcus neoformans is a pathogenic basidiomycetous yeast that primarily infects immunocompromised individuals. Fatal outcome of cryptococcosis depends on the ability of C. neoformans to sense and adapt to 37°C.
