Cryptococcus gattii in North American Pacific Northwest: whole-population genome analysis provides insights into species evolution and dispersal [PDF]
The emergence of distinct populations of Cryptococcus gattii in the temperate North American Pacific Northwest (PNW) was surprising, as this species was previously thought to be confined to tropical and semitropical regions.

Thiamine Limited Steady State Growth of the Yeast Cryptococcus albidus [PDF]
SUMMARY The concentration/growth rate relationship of thiamine-requiring Cryptococcus albidus was examined. Data suggest a diffusion-limited mechanism characterized by an apparent Michaelis constant for growth of 4.7 × 10-13 M. This relationship was obtained from continuous culture at steady state and tested by a non-steady state procedure and in batch

EXTRACELLULAR POLYSACCHARYDES OF YEASTS’ CRYPTOCOCCUS ALBIDUS (SAITO) SKINNER
It was studied the monosaccharide composition of extracellular polysaccharide preparations of yeasts C. albidus UCM U-1028, UCM U-1063 and UCM U-1066, with mannose (up to 67 %) as dominating carbohydrates. It was selected the strain C. albidus UCM U-1066 in the extracellular polysaccharides structure in which mannose (58 %), glucose (21 %) and xylose ...
