Abstract excerpt
We isolated three nikkomycin-resistant mutants of the dimorphic fungus M. rouxii which were physiologically characterized regarding their response to yeast-phase inducing conditions and their sensitivity to bacilysin. Mutant strains G21 and G23, showed a qualitatively normal, though delayed, dimorphic transition and partial cross-resistance to bacilysin. Mutant strain G27 showed an altered dimorphism, producing a...
