✦ Synopsis

Forty-one strains of Cryptococcus neoformans were examined after 3 days growth on a fresh and aged medium at pH 5 & pH 7 for comparison of capsule formation. Over one-half of the strains did not form visible capsules on aged medium at pH 5. Serotypes and source of isolation did not correlate with ability or inability to form capsules. Growth of C. neoformans in the nonencapsulated state makes it possible to culture many strains of C. neoformans in the form that more closely simulates the true infectious particles.

## Abstract We have identified a number of ecto‐glycanases (glycosylhydrolases) associated with the capsule and/or the cell wall of __Cryptococcus neoformans__. The enzyme activities detected included __α__ ‐mannosidase, __α__ ‐, and __β__ ‐glucosidase, __α__ ‐, and __β__ ‐galactosidase, __β__ ‐xyl
