Abstract
The relationship between ergosterol and saccharomyces cerevisiae tolerance were studied. Ergosterol content in three saccharomyces cerevisiae strains were compared under the effects of ethanol stress and high osmotic pressure. The results indicated that ergosterol content was correlated with ethanol tolerance and osmotolerance of saccharomyces cerevisiae strains. The strains with good tolerance had higher ergosterol content.
