Cell wall composition in Cryptococcus neoformans is media dependent and alters host response, inducing protective immunity
IntroductionCryptococcus neoformans is a basidiomycete fungus that can cause meningoencephalitis, especially in immunocompromised patients. Cryptococcus grows in many different media, although little attention has been paid to the role of growth conditions on the cryptococcal cell wall or on virulen...
