Abstract
The sterol composition of C. ellipsoidea was markedly changed when this alga was grown in the presence of 1 μg/g triparanol. Triparanol appears to inhibit the removal of 14α-methyl group, the second alkylation at C-24, Δ7-reductase, and Δ8 → Δ7-isomerase. The effect of triparanol in Chlorella is much more diversified than the specific effect originally assigned to it in animals.Keywords
