WPY361 (upc2-1 mutant) was grown in YPD containing fluconazole (FLC), ergosterol, or a combination for 30 hours in a 96-well plate at 30°C in quadruplicate. Average of Absorbance values at 600 nm (Ab600) and standard deviations are shown. Ergosterol stock (5 mM in Tween∶ethanol [1∶1]) was added for a final concentration of 50 µM. Equal volume of Tween∶ethanol was added to samples without ergosterol as control.
