D-proline assimilation and CGB tests were performed on 233 Cryptococcus neoformans isolates from Brazil. The results disclosed a high sensitivity, D-proline 99-13% and CGB 99.57%, for screening of the varieties. D-proline assimilation test revealed two false negative results for 5.1% of 39 strains of var. gattii, and no false positive results were observed in 194 strains of var. neoformans. No false results and only one doubtful result were found on the CGB medium.
对来自巴西的233株新型隐球菌分离株进行了D-脯氨酸同化试验和CGB试验。结果显示，这两种试验在筛选不同变种时具有较高的敏感性，D-脯氨酸同化试验的敏感性为99.13%，CGB试验为99.57%。D-脯氨酸同化试验显示，在39株加蒂变种中有5.1%的菌株出现了两个假阴性结果，而在194株新生变种中未观察到假阳性结果。在CGB培养基上未发现假结果，仅发现一个可疑结果。
