title: [Changes in the fatty acid composition of phospholipids during the growth process of microscopic fungi of the family Entomophthoraceae].
abstract: The fatty acid composition of phospholipids and its changes during growth of two cultures of microscopic fungi belonging to the family Entomophthoraceae have specific peculiarities. Fatty acids in the composition of phospholipids contain from 10 to 20 carbon atoms in the chain; unsaturated fatty acids prevail among them, and constitute about 60% in the phospholipids of Ent. coronata 1932 and about 70% in the phospholipids of Ent. conica 1716. The content of arachidonic acid in the phospholipids of the both cultures is high (up to 17%). The fatty lipids of phospholipids are actively involved in metabolism in the process of the fungal growth, particularly in Ent. coronata 1932 which is characterized by a higher level of metabolism. The total degree of unsaturation of phospholipids changes only slightly during the growth of the two cultures.
