Two killer yeast strains (HB55 and HB88) capable of inhibiting human pathogenic fungi were isolated from leaves of Hibiscus rosa-sinensis in Brazil. These isolates were identified by conventional methods and sequencing of the D1/D2 region of the 26S rDNA as Kodamaea ohmeri. They inhibited all Crypto
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 ab
