Divalent Metal Cations Potentiate the Predatory Capacity of Amoeba for Cryptococcus neoformans.

Applied and environmental microbiology - 1 Feb 2018

Fu Man Shun, Casadevall Arturo

Abstract excerpt

Among the best-studied interactions between soil phagocytic predators and a human-pathogenic fungus is that of Acanthamoeba castellanii and Cryptococcus neoformans The experimental conditions used in amoeba-fungus confrontation assays can have major effects on whether the fungus or the protozoan is ascendant in the interaction. In the presence of Mg2+ and Ca2+ in phosphate-buffered saline (PBS), C. neoformans was...
