Abstract
Axenic cultures representing ten species of filamentous higher marine fungi were analyzed for ergosterol content to determine the relative efficiencies of five extraction protocols. Methanol refluxing resulted in consistently higher yields than did ethanol treatment. In every case treatment of mycelia with alcoholic KOH solution substantially enhanced ergosterol recovery. Experimental results relative to fungal biomass quantification in vascular plant detritus are discussed.
