A chemical genetic screen reveals a role for proteostasis in capsule and biofilm formation by Cryptococcus neoformans
Pathogenic microorganisms employ specialized virulence factors to cause disease. Biofilm formation and the production of a polysaccharide capsule are two important virulence factors in Cryptococcus neoformans, the fungal pathogen that causes meningoencephalitis. Here, we show that the bipolar disord...
