Using immunofluorescence confocal laser scanning microscopy, immunogold transmission electron microscopy and gas chromatography - mass spectrometry, we demonstrated the presence of 3-hydroxy fatty acids in Cryptococcus neoformans. Our results suggest that these oxylipins accumulate in capsules where they are released as hydrophobic droplets through tubular protuberances into the surrounding medium.
