Table 1.
Lag phase length and maximum specific growth rate (µmax) of wild-type, urease-mutant and urease-reconstituted strains of C. neoformans H99. Values with superscript letters indicate significant differences (P < 0.05). Only letters of the same prime are comparable. All statistical analyses were carried out using one-way ANOVA with Fisher's LSD post-hoc comparisons.
