Abstract
The triazole fungicide (Flusilazole) modified the sterol content of Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The plasma membrane fluidity was altered by the presence of methyl sterol which increased with the flusilazole concentration. On the other hand, the short free fatty acids (C6 to C14) and the unsaturated free fatty acids increased in the cells, while the short free fatty acids decreased in the medium.Keywords
