FIG. 5.

CFU of C. neoformans B-3501 in coculture with S. aureus in the presence of modified polysaccharides. Circles with solid line, pure culture; triangles with solid line, coculture of C. neoformans and S. aureus; circles with broken line, NaIO₄-treated polysaccharide added (1 mg/ml) in coculture; triangles with broken line, α-(1→3)-mannan added (1 mg/ml) in coculture. The values are means ± standard deviations (error bars) for three replicate samples of one representative experiment. The horizontal dotted line represents the lower limit of detection.
