We prepared a newer growth medium, banana peel extract agar (BPEA) containing the extracts of chopped banana peels for the selective cultivation of Cryptococcus neoformans. Over the medium, the growth resulted in the development of light to the dark brown coloured colonies indicating the chromogenic potential of the BPEA. The organism grown over BPEA was subsequently confirmed as C. neoformans by phenotypic as well as by molecular method. This medium, being cost-effective, may be used in resource-poor settings of the developing or underdeveloped countries for selective isolation of C. neoformans.
