Sterol detection from different Phytophthora capsici strains. The wild-type strain BYA5 (above) and ΔPcDHCR7 transformant KD1-1 (bottom) are, respectively, cultured on a minimal medium modified with 20 µg ml⁻¹ ergosterol. All the sterols indicated in the figure were detected as sterol derivatives with a trimethylsilyl at the C-3 hydroxyl.
