Abstract excerpt
Capsule formation plays a significant role in the pathogenicity of Cryptococcus neoformans. To study the molecular basis of capsule synthesis, the capsule-deficient phenotype of a mutant strain was complemented by transformation. A plasmid rescued from the resulting Cap+ transformant complemented a cap59 mutation which was mapped previously by classical recombination analysis. Gene deletion by homologous...
