[Fatty acid and fractional makeup of the lipids of osmotolerant yeasts].

Osmotolerant yeast cultures differ in their fatty acid and fraction composition of total lipids from yeast cultures of the same or related species from other habitat. Their lipid fatty acids are represented by C14--C18 acids. Their fraction composition of lipids is characterized by a low content of free fatty acids and diglycerides and an elevated content of esters of sterines and wax. The fatty acid and fraction composition of lipids depend on the concentration of NaCl and the C/N ratio in the medium.
