MODULATING THE BIOSYNTHESIS OF A BIOACTIVE STEROIDAL SAPONIN, CHOLESTANOL GLUCOSIDE BY LASIODIPLODIA THEOBROMAE USING ABIOTIC STRESS FACTORS Original Article

Objective: The present study investigates the modulation of cholestanol glucoside (CG) biosynthesis by Lasiodiplodia theobromae in response to oxidative, osmotic and heat shock stresses. Methods: The fungal cultures were subjected to oxidative stress by supplementing the culture media with menadione or H 2O 2
