Lipids in the Structure and Function of Yeast Membrane

“…Using a synchronized population of a diploid strain of S. cerevisiae, Cejkova and Jirku (1978) observed that sterols and phospholipid content increased in dividing cells. Penman and Duffus (1976) could not detect any significant variation in total sterol and phospholipids of Kluyveromyces fragilis. A more detailed analysis of lipid changes in C. utilis was reported by Hossack et al (1979), where total neutral lipids and free sterol did not change throughout the cell cycle; however, phospholipid contents varied during various stages of cell growth.…”
