Characterization of a flocculation-like phenotype in Cryptococcus neoformans and its effects on pathogenesis.

Cellular microbiology - 1 Nov 2006

Li Li, Zaragoza Oscar, Casadevall Arturo, Fries Bettina C

Abstract excerpt

We investigated the phenomenon of cell-cell aggregation (flocculation) in a serotype D strain of Cryptococcus neoformans (ATCC 24067, isolate RC-2). Cell aggregation into clumps of 5-40 cells (clump+ cells) occurred during the early log phase and disappeared in the beginning of the stationary phase (clump- cells). The cell aggregation phenomenon was medium dependent. Clump+ cells could be dispersed by either...
