[cryptococcus luteolus as a cause of pulmonary mycosis].		1955	13254162
new, special stain for histopathological diagnosis of cryptococcosis.	the masson-fontana silver stain for melanin was employed for the differentiation of pathogenic fungal species in human or mouse tissues. the fungi studied were candida albicans, candida tropicalis, candida glabrata (torulopsis glabrata), cryptococcus neoformans, cryptococcus bacillisporus, coccidioides immitis, blastomyces dermatitidis, histoplasma capsulatum, paracoccidioides brasiliensis, sporothrix schenckii, rhizopus rhizopodiformis, and aspergillus fumigatus. the tissue sections stained wit ...	1981	6162857
[effect of a deficiency in the mononuclear phagocyte system and the administration of yeast polysaccharide on the development of a heterotopic source of hematopoiesis].	mononuclear phagocyte system (mps) deficiency was induced by repeated peritoneal lavage in (c57bl x cba) f1 mice. the animals were then used as donors or recipients in heterotopic bone marrow transplantation. yeast polysaccharide (yp) produced by cryptococcus luteolus strain 228 was injected weekly (25 mg/kg) during 30 days after bone marrow transplantation under the kidney capsule. bone marrow transplantation from mpc-deficient mice to intact mice 30 days later resulted in no variations from th ...	1988	3042037
[formation of a heterotopic hemopoiesis focus from the administration of a cryptococcal heteropolysaccharide to bone marrow donors and recipients].	the effect of cryptococcus luteolus (strain 228) heteropolysaccharide on heterotopic bone marrow organ formation was studied. heteropolysaccharide (hp) injections were initiated on the next day after bone marrow transplantation and were performed weekly for 30 days. this resulted in the increase in both the cellularity and the weight of the ossicle. the injections performed twice weekly produced the decrease of cellularity while ossicle weight did not change. higher dose of hp produced no change ...	1988	3280051
description of bullera kunmingensis sp. nov., and clarification of the taxonomic status of bullera sinensis and its synonyms based on molecular phylogenetic analysis.	a ballistoconidium-forming yeast strain, ch 2.506, isolated from a semi-dried leaf of parthenocissus sp. collected near kunming city in yunnan, china, was shown to be closely related to the non-ballistoconidium-forming species cryptococcus luteolus (saito) c.e. skinner and the ballistoconidium-forming species bullera sinensis li by molecular phylogenetic analysis based on 18s rdna sequencing. this strain was demonstrated to represent a distinct undescribed yeast species by internal transcribed s ...	2001	12702355
cryptococcus surugaensis sp. nov., a novel yeast species from sediment collected on the deep-sea floor of suruga bay.	a novel species of the genus cryptococcus was isolated from sediment collected on the deep-sea floor of suruga bay, japan. nucleotide sequences of 18s rdna, internal transcribed spacers, 5.8s rdna and the d1/d2 region of 26s rdna of strain sy-260(t) suggested affinities to a phylogenetic lineage that includes cryptococcus luteolus. comparisons of the rdna sequences of each region clarified that strain sy-260(t) is related distantly to bullera coprosmaensis and bullera oryzae, but is distinct at ...	2003	14657152
two new ballistoconidium-forming yeast species, bullera melastomae and bullera formosana, found in taiwan.	two yeast strains, the cells of which contained xylose and q-10 as the major ubiquinone, were isolated from a plant leaf collected in taiwan. these yeasts were found to represent two new species of the genus bullera in the hymenomycetes. identification was based on the sequence analysis of the 18s rdna, the internal transcribed spacer (its) regions and the d1/d2 domain of 26s rdna. the yeasts are named bullera melastomae sp. nov. and bullera formosana sp. nov. in the phylogenetic trees based on ...	2004	15490557
molecular phylogeny of basidiomycetous yeasts in the cryptococcus luteolus lineage (tremellales) based on nuclear rrna and mitochondrial cytochrome b gene sequence analyses: proposal of derxomyces gen. nov. and hannaella gen. nov., and description of eight novel derxomyces species.	phylogenetic relationships among the hymenomycetous yeasts in the cryptococcus luteolus lineage of the tremellales were examined based on sequence analyses of the 18s rrna gene, 26s rrna gene d1/d2 domain, internal transcribed spacer (its) region including 5.8s rrna gene and mitochondrial cytochrome b gene. in addition to the dioszegia clade, two clades represented by bullera mrakii and bullera sinensis, respectively, were revealed to be well-separated monophyletic groups in the lineage. these c ...	2008	18616607
susceptibility profile of clinical isolates of non-cryptococcus neoformans/non-cryptococcus gattii cryptococcus species and literature review.	the in vitro susceptibility profile of 24 clinical isolates of non-cryptococcus neoformans/non-cryptococcus gattii cryptococcus species was analysed. in addition, the susceptibility results of 98 other strains from seven different reports were reviewed. the latter included studies which used antifungal susceptibility testing reference procedures or commercial methods which exhibited high correlation rates with the reference procedures. a total of 122 isolates were analysed (57 cryptococcus albid ...	2010	19235546
microbiological and physicochemical characterisation of caxiri, an alcoholic beverage produced by the indigenous juruna people of brazil.	caxiri is a traditional fermented alcoholic beverage produced from cassava and sweet potatoes by the indigenous juruna or yudjá people in brazil. our results showed that caxiri fermentation is invariably associated with the following: (i) an increase in the total microbial population, with yeast being the largest group detected; (ii) a decrease in reducing sugars, malic, tartaric, succinic, oxalic and propionic acid; and (iii) a final product characterised by a high content of ethanol and a high ...	2012	22497838
a rare case of cryptococcus luteolus-related tenosynovitis.	a 68-year-old male with type ii diabetes mellitus presented with a nodule over the metacarpophalangeal joint of his right second finger after being spurred on the hand by a domestic turkey 2 weeks prior to onset of clinical symptoms. he was diagnosed with cryptococcal tenosynovitis caused by cryptococcus luteolus identified by dna sequencing. complete clinical resolution was achieved with synovectomy and debridement followed by 1 year of fluconazole 800 mg daily.	2014	24481969
environmental isolation, biochemical identification, and antifungal drug susceptibility of cryptococcus species.	the incidence of opportunistic fungal infections has increased in recent years and is considered an important public health problem. among systemic and opportunistic mycoses, cryptococcosis is distinguished by its clinical importance due to the increased risk of infection in individuals infected by human immunodeficiency virus.	2014	24474019
