Pigment production on L-tryptophan medium by Cryptococcus gattii and Cryptococcus neoformans. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 In recent years strains previously grouped within Cryptococcus neoformans have been divided into two species C. neoformans and C. gattii, with Cryptococcus neoformans comprising serotypes A, D, and AD and C.

Galactoxylomannans of Cryptococcus neoformans [PDF]
Infection and Immunity, 1992 Galactoxylomannans (GalXMs) from single isolates of Cryptococcus neoformans serotypes A, B, and D were isolated from culture supernatants and then purified by affinity, ion-exchange, and gel-filtration chromatography. GalXMs are a group of closely related complex polysaccharides.

Melanogenesis in Cryptococcus neoformans [PDF]
Microbiology, 1988 Melanogenesis in Cryptococcus neoformans begins with the oxidation of dihydroxyphenylalanine by the enzyme phenol oxidase. The succeeding steps are very rapid. Two intermediates, dopachrome and 5,6-dihydroxyindole, have been isolated and characterized by high performance liquid chromatography. A pathway of melanin formation in C. neoformans is proposed,

Glucosylceramide Administration as a Vaccination Strategy in Mouse Models of Cryptococcosis. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 Cryptococcus neoformans is an opportunistic fungal pathogen and the causative agent of the disease cryptococcosis. Cryptococcosis is initiated as a pulmonary infection and in conditions of immune deficiency disseminates to the blood stream and central ...

Fungal kinases and transcription factors regulating brain infection in Cryptococcus neoformans
Nature Communications, 2020 Cryptococcus neoformans causes fatal fungal meningoencephalitis. Here, we study the roles played by fungal kinases and transcription factors (TFs) in blood-brain barrier (BBB) crossing and brain infection in mice.
