An amphotericin B (AmB)-resistant mutant was isolated from a wild-type AmB-susceptible strain of Aspergillus flavus by serial transfer of conidia on agar plates containing stepwise increased concentrations of AmB up to 100 microg ml-1. The acquired resistance of mycelia was specific for polyene-antibiotics AmB, nystatin and trichomycin. Spheroplasts derived from the resistant mycelia were as susceptible to AmB as...
