Catecholamines and virulence of Cryptococcus neoformans [PDF]
Infection and Immunity, 1990 Cryptococcus neoformans was unable to utilize catecholamines (epinephrine, norepinephrine, or dopamine) as sole carbon or nitrogen sources. Therefore, catecholamines are not essential growth factors for this fungus and the brain is not a preferred nutritional niche for its growth with regard to catecholamines.

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.Cryptococcus neoformans cell wall α‐1,3‐glucans as dual anchors for melanin and capsule: Solid‐state NMR of intact C. neoformans cells reveals five forms of α‐1,3‐glucans that structurally bridge melanin and capsule layers. These polysaccharides interact with chitin, chitosan, and β‐glucans to create a molecular scaffold that underlies virulence and ...

Genetic complementation in Cryptococcus neoformans [PDF]
Journal of Bacteriology, 1986 A complementation test was devised for the fungus Cryptococcus neoformans. Complementation was signalled by the growth of prototrophic heterokaryons generated in crosses of the type aB X Ab, where a and b represent any two of the genetic markers ilv1, cys1, cys2, and cys3.

Unraveling Melanin Biosynthesis and Signaling Networks in Cryptococcus neoformans
mBio, 2019 Melanins are dark green, brown, or black pigments that serve as antioxidant, reactive oxygen species (ROS) scavengers that protect fungal pathogens from radiation and host immune responses.
