Tritium‐labeled 14α‐methyl‐5α‐ergost‐8‐enol and 5α‐ergosta‐8,14‐dienol were converted to brassicasterol and poriferasterol in Ochromonas malhamensis . This indicates that the organism can rearrange these sterol structures so that they contain the naturally occurring 5(6) double bond, and suggests that O. malhamensis is able to introduce a 24(28) double bond into a nine‐carbon saturated side chain which is alkylated to produce a C‐29 sterol.
