Presence of α and <b>a</b> Mating Types in Environmental and Clinical Collections of <i>Cryptococcus neoformans</i> var. <i>gattii</i> Strains from Australia

1 Sept 1999

Abstract excerpt

Cryptococcus neoformans var. gattii lives in association with certain species of eucalyptus trees and is a causative agent of cryptococcosis. It exists as two mating types, MATalpha and MATa, which is determined by a single-locus, two-allele system. In the closely related C. neoformans var. neoformans, the alpha mating type has been found to outnumber its a counterpart by at least 30:1, but there have been very...
