Abstract The influence of ethanol concentration on fatty acid alterations in total phospholipids (PL), phosphatidylcholine (PCH), phosphatidylethanolamine (PE), phosphatidylinositol (PI), sterol esters (ES) and triacylglycerols (TAG) of Saccharomyces cerevisiae was studied. Ethanol induced the elevation of palmitic and oleic acid level in major membrane phospholipids (PCH and PE) and also the palmitoleic acid content in ES and TAG.
