Abstract Cultures of the fish hemoflagellate Cryptobia salmositica were uninhibited when incubated in vitro for 5 weeks in media containing 0.0625 μg amphotericin B/mL. Amphotericin B at 0.125 μg/mL either significantly suppressed or killed the organisms in culture, and 0.25 ug/mL always killed C. salmositica . Sodium desoxycholate, an ingredient in the commercial preparation of amphotericin B, had no effect on the growth rate of C. salmositica when used alone in media at concentrations up to 0.207 μg/mL. Penicillin G sodium and streptomycin sulfate had no effect on the growth of C. salmositica at concentrations up to 100 units/mL and 100 μg/mL, respectively.
