Ethanol-induced death and lipid composition of Saccharomyces cerevisiae: a comparative study of the role of sterols.
Ethanol tolerance of four Saccharomyces cerevisiae strains characterized by different amounts of delta 5,7-sterols was tested. The individual tolerances did not correlate with the strains sterol levels. The highly and medium-accumulating strains exhibited the highest and lowest ethanol tolerances, respectively.
