The effects of temperatures ranging from 10°C to 35°C on sterol and fatty acid production and hydroxymethylglutaryl CoA reductase (EC 1. 1. 1. 34, HMGCoA reductase) activity have been examined. Growth, based on dry weight, was maximal at 25°C to 30°C. Sterol production and the reductase activity were highest at 15°C after 28_??_32hr incubation when the total fatty acids were minimal. Fatty acid unsaturation generally increased with decrease in temperature.
