Bioinspired aerobic oxidation of the CD ring part of 5,6‐α‐epoxysterols was achieved by two means. The study not only led to the first syntheses and configurational (re)assignments of naturally occurring bioactive C14‐ or C15‐hydroxysterols but also gives valuable insights into the biosynthetic pathways of advanced oxysterols. A series of NMR and X‐ray

Ergosterol Concentration of Several Different Saccharomyces cerevisiae Yeast Strains
Differences in the formation of ergosterol in yeast cells have been found amongst several wine yeast strains used in South Africa. A higher ergosterol content is generally accompanied by a faster fermentation rate and results in a shortening of ...

Discovery of an ergosterol-signaling factor that regulates Trypanosoma brucei growth[S]
Ergosterol biosynthesis and homeostasis in the parasitic protozoan Trypanosoma brucei was analyzed by RNAi silencing and inhibition of sterol C24β-methyltransferase (TbSMT) and sterol 14α-demethylase [TbSDM (TbCYP51)] to explore the functions of sterols ...

Cross‐stressor resilience of soil microbial growth and carbon metabolism under climate change
Abstract The microbial ability to recover metabolism after perturbation events ensures ecosystem functional stability in a changing climate, where multiple climatic stressors increasingly occur in sequential and seasonally cyclic patterns. While prior exposure to a specific stress can enhance microbial resilience to that stress, whether this resilience

The anti-liver cancer effect of ergosterol in mice
we analyzed the antitumor effect of ergosterol using H22 hepatoma model mice, ergosterol at a dose of 240 mg/kg for 10 days significantly reduced H22 hepatoma growth. At this dosage, the tumor inhibition rate reached 64.4%. At a lower dosage of 80 mg/kg

QUANTIFICATION AND BIOREMEDIATION OF ENVIRONMENTAL SAMPLES BY DEVELOPING A NOVEL AND EFFICIENT METHOD [PDF]
Pleurotus ostreatus, a white rot fungus, is capable of bioremediating a wide range of organic contaminants including Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs). Ergosterol is produced by living fungal biomass and used as a measure of fungal biomass.
