Ste50 is required for sexual differentiation in both serotype A and serotype D C. neoformans strains. (A) Serotype A MATα and MATa strains were co-cultured on V8 medium (pH 5.0) for 2 weeks at room temperature in the dark: WT α × WT a (H99 and KN99), hog1Δ (α) × hog1Δ (a) (YSB64 and YSB81), ste11Δ (α)× WT (a) (YSB313 and KN99), ste50Δ (α) × WT (a) (YSB317 and KN99), ste50Δ (α) × ste50Δ (a) (YSB317 and YSB523), and ste50Δ + STE50 (α) × WT (a) (YSB564 and KN99). The images were photographed after 8 days and 14 days. (B) The following serotype D strains were co-cultured on V8 medium in the dark at room temperature up to 5 days and photographed after 2 days: JEC21 and JEC20 (α × a), YSB593 and JEC20 (ste50Δ × a)
