FIGURE 21.6

A quick-freeze deep-etch image of the edge of a C. neoformans cell. The polysaccharide capsule (open meshwork at right) is linked to the cell wall (central structure dividing the image from upper left to lower right) via α1–3 glucan. The region at lower left is the cell membrane, and the arc in the cell wall represents formation of a new bud. (Image by John Heuser and Tamara Doering.)
