## 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
Cryptococcus neoformans is an opportunistic fungal pathogen that synthesizes and catabolizes inositol. This study demonstrates inositol synthesis from glucose-6-phosphate via inositol-1-phosphate synthase and catabolism to glucuronic acid via inositol oxygenase in this organism. These inositol synth
