Abstract

The type species of Prototheca stagnora, SEC-L-1690 (ATCC 16528) (2) was found to have a large capsule surrounding the cells, in India ink preparations. Cryptococcus neoformans and P. stagnora are very similar organisms in their morphology and they should be differentiated by their reproduction process or by their biochemical and physiological characteristics.

Resumo

O estudo de um isolamento de Prototheca stagnora, espécie tipo SEC-L-1690 (2) levou à observação de uma cápsula circundando as células, em preparações microscópicas com tinta da China.

Cryptococcus neoformans e P. stagnora são microrganismos muito semelhantes em sua morfologia e devem ser diferenciados por seu processo de reprodução ou por suas caracteristicas bioquimicas e fisiológicas.
