Amphotericin B is a polyene antifungal antibiotic from Streptomyces sp. It has a high affinity for sterols, primarily ergosterols, of fungal and bacterial cell membranes. It is an antibiotic solution effective against yeast and other fungi. Amphotericin B may be toxic to some insect cell types.…

Plant cell culture tested. Polyene antifungal antibiotic produced by Streptomyces nodosus . Interferes with the permeability of cell wall membrane of sensitive fungi and yeasts by binding to sterols.

Amphotericin B is an antimicrobial/antifungal agent effective against yeast and other fungi. It is a mixture of polyenes. It interrupts cell membrane permeability by binding sterols resulting in the loss of low molecular weight compounds from the cell. Amphotericin B may be toxic to some insect…

Polyene antifungal antibiotic from Streptomyces. Affinity for sterols, primarily ergosterols, of fungal cell membranes. It is used in cell culture applications to study the formation of ion-permeable channels in fungal cell membranes. Interferes with fungal membrane permeability by forming channels…
