Abstract
Tritium-labeled 14alpha-methyl-5alpha-ergost-8-enol and 5alpha-ergosta-8,14-dienol were converted to brassicasterol and poriferasterol in Ochromonas malhamensis. This indicates that the organism can rearrange these sterol structures so that they contain the naturally occurring 5(6) double bond, and suggests that O. malhamensis is able to introduce a 24(28) double bond into a nine-carbon saturated side chain which is alkylated to produce a C-29 sterol.Entities:
