After purification by thin-layer chromatography (tie) several fatty adds stimulated oospore formation in Phytophthora cactorum but not in Phytophthora parasitica. Palmitoleic acid was the most effective and was the only fatty acid tested that promoted oospore formation in P. parasitica. Purification of palmitoleic acid by Florisil column chromatography resulted in a two-fold increase in activity over that purified by tie. When 0.01 to 100 ng of cholesterol was added to basal medium containing palmitoleic acid the added cholesterol did not significantly change oospore production by P. cactorum. Oospore formation in P, cactorum was slightly stimulated by tlc-treated aliphatic hydrocarbons, or derivatives of hydrocarbons, but was strongly stimulated by geraniol and squalene. Vitamin A and vitamin A esters stimulated oospore formation in both P. cactorum and P, parasitica. tie treatment also significantly increased the activity of cholesterol and beta-sitosterol on oospore formation by P. cactorum. Both compounds did not stimulate oospore formation by P, parasitica even after tie treatment.
