    Notes: Abstract By using specific inhibitors of the lipoxygenase and cyclo-oxygenase pathways, arachidonic acid metabolites with similar sensitivities towards these inhibitors as in humans, were detected inDipodascopsis uninucleata. The taxonomic value of aspirin sensitive arachidonic acid metabolites in the Lipomycetaceae was next assessed. No metabolites of which the production is inhibited by aspirin were detected in strains representing the following species:Lipomyces starkeyi, Lipomyces kononenkoae, Lipomyces tetrasporus, Myxozyma melibiosi, Myxozyma mucilagina, Myxozyma kluyveri, Waltomyces lipofer, Zygozyma oligophaga andZygozyma arxii. The detection of such aspirin sensitive arachidonic acid metabolites in representative strains ofLipomyces anomalus and the genusDipodascopsis, emphasises the isolated position of these taxa in the genusLipomyces and the family Lipomycetaceae, respectively. Finally using long chain fatty acid analyses, electrophoretic karyotyping and other phenotypic characters, a phylogenetic scheme is proposed for some genera in the Lipomycetaceae.

    Notes: Abstract Using radioimmunoassay, blood platelet aggregation studies and GC-MS the existence of prostaglandins in the endomycetalean yeastDipodascopsis uninucleata was confirmed by our group. These findings triggered the search for similar eicosanoids in the rest of the Endomycetales. We commenced by scanning for the easily detectable precursors of eicosanoids, linoleic- and linolenic acid. We selected two families (i.e. Lipomycetaceae and Dipodascaceae), both producing these precursors, for further investigation. Representative strains of the two families were tested for their ability to grow in the presence of 1mM aspirin, a specific inhibitor of prostaglandin biosynthesis. In contrast to the lipomycetaceous species the dipodascaceous species were insensitive to this drug. These results were verified when representative strains of both families were investigated for their ability to produce eicosanoids from externally fed radio-labeled arachidonic acid along an aspirin sensitive pathway. Thin layer chromatography of culture extracts, followed by autoradiography, showed that while none of the Dipodascaceae produced aspirin sensitive arachidonic acid metabolites, the members of the Lipomycetaceae tested positive for these metabolites. These findings supported the separation of the lipomycetaceous yeastDipodascopsis from the Dipodascaceae. The findings also correlate with the delimitation of these yeasts in two families (i.e. Dipodascaceae and Lipomycetaceae). Further investigation indicated that prostaglandin production by the genusDipodascopsis is mainly associated with ascosporogenesis. Thin layer chromatography of cell extracts fromDipodascopsis tóthii, followed by scintillation counting, indicated the presence of PGF2α and PGE2 during ascosporogenesis.
