An in vitro method for inducing titan cells reveals novel features of yeast-to-titan switching in the human fungal pathogen Cryptococcus gattii

R. C. May, L. Saidykhan, J. Correia, A. Romanyuk, G. E. Desanti, L. Taylor-Smith, M. Makarova, E. R. Ballou

This paper develops an in vitro method to induce titan cells in Cryptococcus gattii and identifies p-Aminobenzoic acid as a key inducer, revealing strain-specific differences and asynchronous cell cycle features during titanisation.

The Cryptococcus neoformans Titan cell is an inducible and regulated morphotype underlying pathogenesis

I. M. Dambuza, T. Drake, A. Chapuis, L. Taylor-Smith, N. LeGrave, T. Rasmussen, M. C. Fisher, T. Bicanic, T. S. Harrison, M. Jaspars, R. C. May, G. D. Brown, R. Yuecel, D. M. MacCallum, E. R. Ballou

This paper establishes an in vitro system to induce Titan cells in Cryptococcus neoformans, identifies bacterial peptidoglycan as an inducer, and shows that Titanisation is regulated and conserved across species.
