Isolierung und Identifizierung von Sterinen im Metabolismus des Pilzes Botrytis cinerea / Isolation and identification of sterols in the metabolism of the fungus botrytis cinerea

The fungus Botrytis cinerea, which belongs to the class of ascomycetes, has been analysed for its sterol composition. It is able to produce ergosterol, cerevisterol, lanosterol/dihydrolanosterol and cholesterol besides β-sitosterol. The identification of the sterols is carried out with different analytical methods including mass spectrometry. In the extracts of the mycelium also squalene has been identified
