Cryptococcus neoformans is a yeast-like fungus enclosed by a capsule. It was first identified in nature from samples of peach juice, but has proven to be found more abundantly in soil contaminated with pigeon droppings, eucalyptus trees, decaying wood from living trees, and in goats with pulmonary disease.
Man is a eukaryotic organism. This means that the genetic material of human cells is present in a delimited nucleus and in the mitochondria (specialised organites). Like humans, yeast is a eukaryotic organism, as opposed to procaryotic organisms such as bacteria. But contrary to humans, made up of billions of cells, yeast is unicellular! That is why it is easier to study and handle.
