Evidence That Cryptococcus neoformans Is Melanized in Pigeon Excreta: Implications for Pathogenesis

Structures similar to the melanin “ghosts” of melanized cryptococcal cells were isolated from pigeon excreta contaminated with Cryptococcus neoformans, and their growth in pigeon excreta supported melanization. The results suggest that environmental C. neoformans cells are melanized and imply that i...
