| meningoencephalitis caused by cryptococcus macerans. | a case of meningoencephalitis caused by cryptococcus macerans is described. the infection caused a severe form of epilepsy. antifungal therapy based on fluconazol was successful in halting the disease process. the patient remained, however, unable to resume his job and previous activities. | 1997 | 9360266 |
| cold-adapted yeasts as producers of cold-active polygalacturonases. | eight cold-adapted, polygalacturonase-producing yeasts belonging to four species were isolated from frozen environmental samples in iceland. they were identified as cystofilobasidium lari-marini, cystofilobasidium capitatum, cryptococcus macerans and cryptococcus aquaticus species by sequence analysis of rdna regions. growth behavior of the isolates was investigated. all strains could grow at 2 degrees c. addition of glucose to pectin-containing culture medium had a repressive effect on enzyme p ... | 2003 | 12768449 |
| cystofilobasidium lacus-mascardii sp. nov., a basidiomycetous yeast species isolated from aquatic environments of the patagonian andes, and cystofilobasidium macerans sp. nov., the sexual stage of cryptococcus macerans. | here, we report on two novel sexual basidiomycetous red yeast species of the genus cystofilobasidium. cystofilobasidium lacus-mascardii sp. nov. is based on sexually compatible strains isolated from lake mascardi, an ultraoligotrophic lake in north-western patagonia, argentina. following the discovery of the first isolate of this species, additional (sexually compatible) strains were isolated using a selective medium containing erythritol as the sole source of carbon. the second novel species co ... | 2009 | 19244450 |
