violet per liter, were compared for the selective and differential isolation of Cryptococcus
neoformans from environmental samples. Trypan blue medium allowed for the differentiation
of C. neoformans colonies from Candida albicans colonies several days earlier than did
Staib's medium. The addition of methyl violet to Staib's medium was found to be inhibitory to
some strains of all species tested. Diphenyl in Staib's medium inhibited the growth of 30 …

Diphenyl in Staib's medium inhibited the growth of 30 strains of C. neoformans and C. albicans.
