Recent attempts to characterise the hybrid strains of Cryptococcus neoformans have led to the identification of a cryptic population of hybrid strains ('H strains') with double DNA content but only a single mating-type allele. To verify a set of hypotheses concerning their origin, we investigated 14 previously isolated H strains and ten F1-progeny strains arising from H99 and JEC20 mating. The double DNA content...
