The action of phospholipid on the rhodotorucine A(RH.A) acceptance by heterbasidiomyceteous yeast Rhodosporidium toruloides mating type a cells and the effect of medium composition during sexual differentiation were investigated. Activation of trigger peptidase(TPase)was very sensitive to the originated phospholipid from R. toruloides and was more sensitive to phospholipid liposome made up of phospholipi. Phospholopod present on the membrance of mating type a cells consists of phospatidylglycerol(PG), phosphatidylethanolamine(PE), phospatidylcholine(PC), phospatidylinositol(PI), and phosphatidylserine(PS) of 12.9, suprisingly 45.4, 11.0, and 13.9%, respectively. As the result of using C-1 and N-1 mediums which limited C and N sources capable of inhibiting the synthesis of phospholipid, it resulted inhibiting sexual dlfferentiation and production of Rh.A from mating type Acells.
