Ergosterol from the soilborne fungus Ganoderma boninense. [PDF]

, 2011
Ergosterol is the main component of the fungal membrane and is not found in plants or other microbial cells. Therefore, it can be a useful biomarker for the quantification of fungal biomass.

Δ8(9),22-Ergostadiene-3β-ol, an ergosterol precursor accumulated in wild-type and mutants of yeast

Journal of Lipid Research, 1972
Whereas wild-type strains of Saccharomyces cerevisiae can synthesize up to 7% dry weight of ergosterol, a polyene-resistant mutant has been obtained which produces no ergosterol. Instead, a C-28 methyl sterol is produced, and it has been identified as Δ8(

Engineering Microbial Particles for Next‐Generation Biomedical Platforms

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Microbe‐derived particles (MDPs), which include extracellular vesicles, outer membrane vesicles, inclusion bodies, polysaccharide particles, and virus‐like particles, represent a rapidly expanding category of bioinspired nanomaterials. With their natural origin, intrinsic biocompatibility, and highly programmable functionality, MDPs serve as a ...

Comparison of two extraction methods for ergosterol determination in vegetal feeds [PDF]

, 2007
Ergosterol is the principal sterol of fungi in which it plays an essential role in cell membrane and other cellular constituents. This sterol is considered as a good marker of fungal contamination and of mycotoxin production.

Ergosterol-Induced Ordered Phase in Ternary Lipid Mixture Systems of Unsaturated and Saturated Phospholipid Membranes

, 2019
The sterol ergosterol (Erg) is ubiquitous in the membranes of lower eukaryotes such as fungi. To investigate the interactions between Erg and phosphocholine (PC) molecules, we studied ternary lipid mixture systems composed of unsaturated 1,2-dioleoyl-sn ...

Antioxidant Potential of Ergosterol–Phospholipid Liposomes with Thymus serpyllum Extract

Proceedings
The antioxidant activity of ergosterol–phospholipid liposomes with chemically characterized, encapsulated wild thyme (Thymus serpyllum) extract was examined. 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) and 2,2′-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulphonic acid)

Unraveling Unique Effect of Ergosterol on Lipid Membranes, and What We Can Do with the Future STS [PDF]

Structural Dynamics
Ergosterol, a critical component of fungal membranes, has traditionally been thought to influence membrane properties in much the same way as cholesterol because of their similar structures.

Requirement for ergosterol in V-ATPase function underlies antifungal activity of azole drugs. [PDF]

PLoS Pathogens, 2010
Ergosterol is an important constituent of fungal membranes. Azoles inhibit ergosterol biosynthesis, although the cellular basis for their antifungal activity is not understood.

Repurposing FDA‐Approved Drugs to Inhibit Fungal PPTases for Broad‐Spectrum Synergy

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Fungal secondary metabolites serve as crucial virulence effectors; however, the potential of their biosynthetic pathways as antifungal targets remains inadequately comprehended. Repurposed FDA‐approved drugs inhibit fungal PPTase (essential for secondary metabolism) in vivo.

Co-culture with Lactobacillus plantarum SC-1 facilitates ergosterol synthesis in Monascus purpureus through MpSet1-affected H3K4ac establishment

Frontiers in Microbiology
IntroductionIn fungi, ergosterol synthesis is regulated by multiple transcription factors such as Upc2, but the regulation of ergosterol synthesis in Monascus remains unclear.MethodsWe performed a co-culture system of Monascus purpureus (M.
