Caffeic Acid Ferric Citrate Test Agar (CAFC Medium) is recommended for selective isolation and presumptive identification of Cryptococcus neoformans and its differentiation from other species.

C. neoformans has a unique ability to produce melanin or melanin-like pigment from p- and o-diphenols and can be differentiated from Candida albicans. Pigment production is delayed during luxurious growth.
