    • A Saccharomyces cerevisiae sterol auxotroph, SPK14 (a hem1 erg6 erg7 ura), was constructed to test the ability of selected C-5,6 unsaturated sterols at growth-limiting concentrations to spark growth on bulk cholestanol. The native sterol, ergosterol, initiated growth faster and allowed a greater cell yield than did other sterols selectively altered in one or more features of the sterol. Although the C-5,6 unsaturation is required for the sparking function, the presence of the C-22 unsaturation… CONTINUE READING
