Determination of ploidy in <i>Cryptococcus neoformans</i> by flow cytometry
1 Jan 1996
Abstract excerpt
We determined the ploidy of Cryptococcus neoformans (28 strains) isolated from patients and nature. The cellular DNA content of these strains, which stained with propidium iodide in comparison to that of two authentic haploid strains, was determined by flow cytometry. All the strains exhibited diphasic histograms. In case of the authentic haploid strains, the first peak was centred around channel 9, and the...
