The MIC of 48 antibiotics and other antifungal agents was established for the wild type and six mutants of
Blastocladiella emersonii, as well as
B. britannica,
B. simplex,
B. cystogena, and the related
Allomyces macrogynus. Meiospores and mitospores of
A. macrogynus differed from RS and OG spores of
B. entersonii primarily in their responses to tetracycline, trichomycin, mitomycin C, antimycin A, and actinomycin, as well as bis(dimethylthiocarbamoyl) disulfate (T-l) and acrinavin (T-13). The four wild type species of
Blastocladiella differed from one another primarily in their responses to mitomycin C, actinomycin S, chloramphenicol, endomycin, chlortetracycline, and trichomycin, as well as pentachloronitrobenzene (T-7), 2, 4-dichloro-6-(2-chloranylyno)-S-triazine (T-8), 2, 2/-methylene bis(3, 4, 6 trichlorophenol) (T-9), 3, 4, 4'-trichlorocarbanilide (T-4), malachite green (T-12), and T-13. The wildtype
B. emersonii differed from its albino mutants primarily in its response to antimycin A, T-4, and (T-8). The Blastocladiaceae were also compared with two yeasts and
Staphylococcus aureus in their response to various toxicants.
