The sterols produced by various species of fungi have been investigated by gas liquid chromatography and in some case by mass spectroscopy. Ergosterol, ergosta-5, 7-dienol and cholesterol were identified in fungi of the class Deuteromycetes, the percentages of these sterols varying among the species, Ergosterol, ergosta-5, 7 dienol and ergosta-7-enol were identified in the species of the order Mucorales, the percentages of these sterols varying among the species. 24-Methylenedihydrolanosterol was found in Mortierella isabellina IFO No. 7824 of the Order Mucorales.
