Abstract excerpt
A terbinafine-resistant mutant of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae with a complex pleiotropic phenotype (resistance to terbinafine and itraconazole, sensitivity to several antifungal compounds, respiration deficiency, and temperature sensitivity) has been isolated after chemical mutagenesis. Detailed analysis revealed that some of its traits (thermosensitive growth, sensitivity to the polyene antimycotic...
