Notes:
Abstract A spectrophotometric method of determining extractable lipids was compared with a gravimetric method to estimate intracellular polar and non-polar lipids in the oleaginous yeast, Candida curvata. The methods correlated well but the spectrophotometric method was simpler, required less sample, and its accuracy was not affected by non-lipid components.
