Distinct pathways of adaptive evolution in Cryptococcus neoformans reveal a point mutation in adenylate cyclase with drastic tradeoffs for pathogenicity

Z. Hilbert, K. Chung, J. Bednarek, M. Schwiesow, J. C. S. Brown, N. C. Elde

The paper identifies a point mutation in adenylate cyclase that improves fungal growth in macrophages but reduces disease severity in mice.

A dissemination-prone morphotype enhances extrapulmonary organ entry by the fungus Cryptococcus neoformans

S. T. Denham, B. Brammer, K. Y. Chung, M. A. Wambaugh, J. Bednarek, L. Guo, J. C. S. Brown

This study shows that a small morphotype of Cryptococcus neoformans, called 'seed' cells, is critical for extrapulmonary organ entry and is induced by environmental factors like phosphate.
