摘要: Abstract The naturally occurring pentacyclic triterpene alcohol of Tetrahymena pyriformis , tetrahymanol, is replaced by ergosterol as a result supplementation the growth medium with that sterol. Since tetrahymanol not metabolized ciliate, loss from sterol-supplemented cells appears to occur through dilution during growth. Ergosterol-grown are at least 20 times more sensitive polyene antibiotics than normal cells. substitution for observed in whole also reflected isolated cilia and ciliary membrane preparations. In these membranes, phospholipid/tetrahymanol ratio similar phospholipid/ergosterol ration ergosterol-grown
