Effect of pesticides on total phospholipids of hansenula anomala

ABSTRACT

Cells of Hansenula anomala were found to contain an altered phospholipid when grown under aerobic or anaerobic conditions in the presence of a fungicide, tilt, insecticide, dimecron and acardicide, Neoron. Experimental results indicate that the level of phospholipids have a significant positive correlation with increasing the concentration of any of the three pesticides under test. Also the level of phospholipids for yeast cells grown aerobically were higher than those grown under anaerobic conditions
