erg-2	VR. Left of inl (6%) (419). The cell membrane is deficient in ergosterol, thereby conferring slight resistance to nystatin and other polyene antibiotics (417, 418). Lacks 24(28)dehydroergosterol hydrogenase (terminal step of ergosterol synthesis) (419) (Fig. 13.). Poorly fertile as female. Good growth and conidiation.	VR	B
