Abstract
A rapid pigmentation test for identification ofCryptococcus neoformans is described. The method is based on the formation of a characteristic, mousegrey to violaceous-black pigment when shake cultures ofC. neoformans in a phosphate-buffered,l-DOPA — ferric citrate medium are incubated at 37 C for one hour.This publication has 21 references indexed in Scilit:
