Recombinational mapping of capsule mutations in Cryptococcus neoformans.

C N Still, E S Jacobson
PMCID: PMC215110  PMID: 6352689

Abstract

Seven capsule-negative mutants of Cryptococcus neoformans were isolated. All mutations were linked (maximum map distance, 38 U); two mutations were found to be allelic.
