As sterols requirement in Saccharomyces cerevisiae is not specific for ergosterol, and sterols influences deeply the status of the eukaryotic membranes and further the biotechnological performances, the cholesterol up taking in yeast cells was studied. The most recommendable solution would be to add exogenous cholesterol in anaerobic conditions, in doses like 200-300 mg/l medium.
