Abstract

SUMMARYMorphogenesis of Filobasidiella neoformans (= Cryptococcus neoformans) has been studied. A dikaryotic mycelium with clamp connections is formed after conjugation of two yeast cells of opposite mating type. A nonseptate, slender basidium with an abruptly expanded apex arises laterally or terminally from the dikaryotic hypha. The zygote nucleus in the basidium undergoes meiosis and the four resulting haploid nuclei appear in the apical area of the basidium. As the nuclei divide by mitosis, uninucleate basidiospores are budded out from four spots on the apex of basidium. This basipetal budding produces long chains of basidiospores. Genetic analysis has revealed a bipolar mating type system in this pathogen. The phylogenetic relationship of F. neoformans with other fungi is discussed.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
