Abstract excerpt

The sterol content in Saccharomyces cerevisiae mutants defective in the synthesis of cyclic ergosterol precursors has been studied. It was found that strains with mutational blocks involving the stages of zymosterol side chain methylation at C24 and delta 8----delta 7 isomerization accumulated tw...
