| Abstract: | The Oomycete Saprolegnia ferax incorporates 3H from both cycloartenol-2-3H] and lanosterol-2-3H] into its normal sterols cholesterol, fucosterol, desmosterol, and 24-methylenecholesterol. It is concluded that sterol biosynthesis in this organism is via cycloartenol and the taxonomic implications are discussed. |
