Encapsulation and melanin formation as indicators of virulence in Cryptococcus neoformans.
Acapsular (Cap-) mutants of Cryptococcus neoformans var. neoformans that produce melanin (Mel+) on diphenol media at 30 degrees C but not at 37 degrees C were found to be avirulent for mice. Compared with wild-type isolates, the mutants had a lower rate of L-3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine uptake at 37 d...
