A simple method is described for the direct isolation of zymosterol (5 alpha-cholesta-8,24-dien-3 beta-ol) of high purity from a sterol mutant of Saccharomyces cerevisiae. This yeast strain, which is a double mutant of the ERG6 (sterol transmethylase) and ERG2 (C-8 sterol isomerase) genes, accumulates zymosterol as its major sterol component.
描述了一种从酿酒酵母的甾醇突变体中直接分离高纯度酵母甾醇(5α-胆甾-8,24-二烯-3β-醇)的简单方法。该酵母菌株是ERG6(甾醇转甲基酶)和ERG2(C-8甾醇异构酶)基因的双突变体,以酵母甾醇作为其主要甾醇成分进行积累。
