Mitochondrial cytochrome b genes (cyt b) of 40 strains of Cryptococcus neoformans were partially sequenced to determine the genetic relations. With the exception of the type strain of C. neoformans var. neoformans, all strains contained introns in their sequences. Analysis of 386 bp of coding sequence from each strain under investigation revealed a total of 27 (6.99%) variable nucleotide sites and categorized isolates of C. neoformans into nine cyt b types. C. neoformans var. gattii included cyt ...[more]
