Serotype AD Strains of <i>Cryptococcus neoformans</i> Are Diploid or Aneuploid and Are Heterozygous at the Mating-Type Locus

1 Jan 2001

Abstract excerpt

Cryptococcus neoformans is a pathogenic basidiomycete with a defined sexual cycle involving mating between haploid yeast cells with a transient diploid state. C. neoformans occurs in four predominant serotypes (A, B, C, and D), which represent different varieties or species. Rare clinical and environmental isolates with an unusual AD serotype have been reported and suggested to be diploid. We found by...
