Rhodosporidium fluviale Fell, Kurtzman, Tallman & J.D.

Buck 1988 Rhodosporidiobolus fluvialis is a species of fungus in the family Sporidiobolaceae.

It is a human fungal pathogen that exhibits resistance to antifungal compounds like fluconazole and caspofungin.

When it is incubated at 37 °C (99 °F), reactive oxygen species accumulate and damage its DNA, which causes mutations that lead to the development of resistance to amphotericin-B.

[3] R. fluvialis colonies can be pigmented due to the accumulation of carotenoids in the cells.
