Abstract

Spectral changes resulting from specific interaction between sterols and the polyene antibiotic filipin have been exploited in a simple sterol assay that is not subject to interference. This can be employed to measure the sterol content of brewing yeast prior to use thus permitting improved control of the fermentation process. It may also be applicable to quantification of fungal biomass.
