A primary fixative containing glutaraldehyde (3%), acrolein (1.5%) and paraformaldehyde (1.5%) buffered in 0.05 M sodium cacodylate at pH 7.2 was applied to the cells of Cryptococcus vishniacii for 2 h on ice. The cells were then treated with a 6% aqueous solution of potassium permanganate for 1 h at room temperature. This method preserves most of the yeast cell fine structural components including cell walls and membrane, nuclear membrane, mitochondria, endoplasmic reticula, microbodies, vacuoles, nucleoli and ribosomes. However, it leads to disruption of capsular materials and loss of some of the lipid and glycogen granules.
