2D 13C-13C DP J-INADEQUATE spectra of C. neoformans whole-cell and melanin ghost samples prepared from cultures containing [U-13C6]glucose-enriched medium. Shown are nonmelanized (A) and melanized (B) whole cells from the acapsular mutant Cap59 strain and melanin ghosts generated from H99 cells (C). The cross-peaks attributed to key functional groups have been demarcated to highlight the similarities among the three samples.
