(A) Melanin assay: The kinetics of melanization varies depending on the incubation temperature. lac1Δ is deficient in the primary laccase enzyme responsible for melanization in C. neoformans. (B) Capsule formation assay: WT (H99) cell grown under capsule inducting conditions (DMEM, 37 °C, 5% CO2) and visualized with India ink. Bar denotes 10 μm.
