title: Cholesterol beta-D-glucoside-6'-O-palmitate, a metabolite of Pythium sylvaticum.
abstract: Cholesterol beta-D-glucoside-6'-O-palmitate has been identified as a polar metabolite in the mycelium of mated cultures of Pythium sylvaticum grown in the presence of cholesterol. The structure was confirmed by synthesis of the metabolite. Similar steroid beta-D-glucoside-6'-O-palmitates were obtained from beta-sitosterol and campesterol when these sterols were added to cultures of P-sylvaticum. Corresponding esters of myristic and stearic acids were also detected.
