Lysine biosynthesis via AAA pathway in Cryptococuus neoformans is essential for growth, virulence factors, and pathogenicity

Caption

The left figure shows the complete lysine biosynthesis pathway in fungi, with the genes involved in the corresponding steps in Cryptococcus neoformans presented in green text. The right figure illustrates the systematic workflow for virulence testing of auxotrophic strains in both in vitro and in vivo experiments.
