Popis: Cryptococcus neoformans was grown in 96-well microtiter plates sealed by foil which is less than 0.01 % permeable to oxygen. On day 14 of the cultivation, we observed peculiar clusters of small droplike daughter cells arranged aroundor = 4 % of mother cells. The fact that most of the other cells had died indicates that few cells had been able to survive hypoxic conditions and escape the cell-cycle arrest. However, their daughters were unable to separate from them and to continue their proliferation under such conditions.
