Cryptococcus gattii biofilm: phenotypic characteristics and transcriptome profile

The knowledge about biofilm formation and the mechanisms employed by C. gattii in the formation of complex structures such as biofilm is limited. The understanding of the molecular mechanisms involved in the formation of the microbial biofilm is crucial for its control. Thus, the characterization of genes that may be involved in the biofilm formation process of C. gattii can contribute to the development of strategies for its control.
