Abstract:

A strain MM01of fungus was isolated for producing unsaturated fatty acid. It was found experimentally that 56 mg of total fatty acids are contained in 1 g of dry mycelia of the strain, which consist of oleic acid (37.330%), linoleic acid (10.943%) and γ - linolenic acid (18.783%). The strain was identified as Actinomucor elegans.

Key words: oleic acid, linoleic acid, &gamma, -linolenic acid, Actinomucor elegans
