Phenotypic switching in Cryptococcus neoformans results in changes in cellular morphology and glucuronoxylomannan structure.

Infection and immunity - 1 Nov 1999

Abstract excerpt

Cryptococcus neoformans strains exhibit variability in their capsular polysaccharide, cell morphology, karyotype, and virulence, but the relationship between these variables is poorly understood. A hypovirulent C. neoformans 24067A isolate, which usually produces smooth (SM) colony types, was found to undergo phenotypic switching and to produce wrinkled (WR) and pseudohyphal (PH) colony types at frequencies of...
