 note = {The biosynthesis of sterols in the red alga, Porphyridium cruentum, was investigated. The incubation
of resting and growing cells with acetate-1-^{14}C gave the radioactive squalene and sterols. The results
indicate that P.cruentum is capable of synthesizing sterols from acetate as well as in other plants. The
sterols isolated from the resting cells revealed radioactivity only in 22-dehydrocholesterol. In the case
of the sterols isolated from the growing cells, radioactivity was present at least in 22-dehydrocholesterol
and cholesterol fractions. These results showed that P.cruentum synthesizes 22-dehydrocholesterol and
cholesterol from acetate.},
