Abstract: | Pro- and Antioxidants in The Field of Fats XX: Lipids of the Yeast Cells in Different Stages to Growth By the example of different cultures of saccharomyces cerevisiae it is shown that the amount of lipids of the same and their composition depend on the age and the growth of the yeast cells. Under anaerobic conditions, the lipids of different classes are diminished and they are converted to physiologically less active compounds e. g. sterols into squalene. The presence of oxygen is necessary for the biosynthesis of phospholipids and sterol esters also. |
