| Description | Lomofungin, an antibiotic active against yeasts, mycelial fungi and bacteria imparts a red colour to living yeast, fungal and algal nuclei when it is present in the culture medium at concentration of 20–100 micrograms/ml. Staining is equally distinct at all stages of the cell cycle, including mitosis and meiosis. The coloured nuclei are plainly visible in the light microscope and the presence in them of lomofungin has been confirmed by electron microscopy. |
