Ergosterol synthesis and storage in the yeast Torulopsis lipofera

Net synthesis of ergosterol from acetate or glucose by whole cells of the yeast Torulopsis lipofera has been demonstrated. Incubation of the yeast with radioacetate suggests that the site of ergosteroneogenesis may be the particulate (mitochondrial and large microsomal) fraction. The cellular debris...

Summary:Net synthesis of ergosterol from acetate or glucose by whole cells of the yeast Torulopsis lipofera has been demonstrated. Incubation of the yeast with radioacetate suggests that the site of ergosteroneogenesis may be the particulate (mitochondrial and large microsomal) fraction. The cellular debris fraction is associated with a higher total ergosterol level than the other cellular fractions under the isolation conditions employed.
