The optimum concentration is 15 mcg per ml. Mycelium of Pythium ultimum , in which cholesterol is present, incorporates glucose-U- 14 C and releases 14 CO 2 at a faster rate than the corresponding sterol free mycelium. In sterol containing cells, more 14 CO 2 is produced from a given amount of absorbed glucose-U- 14 C than in sterol free cells, there is thus in sterol containing hyphae a higher level of energy production. This condition can account for the increase in growth due to cholesterol. Only if sterols are present in the cellular membranes of Pythium species is the optimum synthetic capacity reached.
