Cryptococcus is a genus of fungi in the family Cryptococcaceae that includes both yeasts and filamentous species. The filamentous, sexual forms or teleomorphs were formerly classified in the genus Filobasidiella , while Cryptococcus was reserved for the yeasts.
Solicoccozyma terrea (synonym Cryptococcus terreus) is a species of fungus in the family Piskurozymaceae. It is only known from its yeast state. In this state, it can use glucose, lactose, galactose and potassium nitrate. The cells are oval with mucous capsules. Cultures of the yeast are cream at first, becoming tan with a “tough” surface skin.
The Cryptococcaceae are a family of fungi in the order Tremellales.The family currently contains two genera.Some species produce filamentous, sexual states with distinctive basidia and are parasites of other fungi.
Solicoccozyma phenolicus (synonym Cryptococcus phenolicus) is a fungus species in the family Piskurozymaceae, typically found in its yeast state. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] References
Cryptococcus neoformans is an encapsulated basidiomycetous yeast [1] belonging to the class Tremellomycetes and an obligate aerobe [2] that can live in both plants and animals. Its teleomorph is a filamentous fungus , formerly referred to Filobasidiella neoformans .
Cryptococcus consortionis is a fungus species. It produces colonies that are cream colored with a glistening, mucoid appearance. When grown in liquid media, this species requires constant agitation. This species growth range is from 4 °C to 23 °C, with growth at 23 °C occurring very slowly.
Species are currently only known from their yeast states, most of which were formerly referred to the genus Cryptococcus. Some 15 species have been described worldwide. [ 1 ] Naganishia albida is an occasional human pathogen.
Naganishia adeliensis (synonym Cryptococcus adeliensis [1]) is a species of fungus in the family Filobasidiaceae. It is currently only known from its yeast state, isolated from decaying algae in Antarctica. When plated on agar Naganishia adeliensis produces colonies that are cream, with a smooth, glossy appearance. The colonies frequently ...
