Abstract

Sterols were identified from two species of Chara and from one species each from the genera Nitella, Nitellopsis, and Lamprothamnium. The principal sterol in each species examined was either 24-ethylcholesterol or 28-isofucosterol. Cholesterol was present in small quantities in each alga. Four of the six genera of the Characeae have now been examined for sterol composition. 24-Ethylcholesterol or a mixture of 24-ethyl-cholesterol and 28-isofucosterol constitutes the majority of the sterol in each species examined to date.
