Phagocytosis is a fundamental process of cells to capture and ingest foreign particles. Small
unicellular organisms such as free-living amoeba use this process to acquire food. In …

Cryptococcus sp. are basidiomycete yeasts which can be found widely, free-living in the
environment. Interactions with natural predators, such as amoebae in the soil, are thought to …

Meningitis due to Cryptococcus neoformans is responsible for upwards of 180,000 deaths
worldwide annually, mostly in immunocompromised individuals. Currently there are no …

Evaluating the quality of a de novo annotation of a complex fungal genome based on RNA-
seq data remains a challenge. In this study, we sequentially optimized a Cufflinks …

In this study, we characterized Cryptococcus gattii biofilm formation in vitro. There was an
increase in the density of metabolically active sessile cells up to 72 h of biofilm formation on …

Cryptococcus gattii R265 is a hypervirulent fungal strain responsible for the recent outbreak
of cryptococcosis in Vancouver Island of British Columbia in Canada. It differs significantly …

Cryptococcus gattii is one of the etiological agents of cryptococcosis. To achieve a
successful infection, C. gattii cells must overcome the inhospitable host environment and …

Cryptococcus gattii is a kind of basidiomycetous yeast, which grows in human and animal
hosts. C. gattii has four distinct genomes, VGI/AFLP4, VGII/AFLP6, VGIII/AFLP5, and …

Infections caused by opportunistic human fungal pathogens are a source of increasing
medical concern, due to their growing incidence, the emergence of novel pathogenic …

Key message The transcriptional profile of roots is highly affected by shoot illumination.
