Abstract
Depletion of fossil fuels and increasing the environmental concerns against pollution accelerate the research in renewable energy with much efforts directed for the production of biodiesel by the promising oil-rich biomass, like oleaginous fungi, growing on inexpensive agricultural and industrial wastes. Rhizopus stolonifer was found to be the most potent lipid producer among the tested fungi in the present study; its growth was optimized at pH=6, glucose as Csource, NaNO3 as N-source, with agitation rate of 120 rpm, incubation temperature of 28 ͦ C after 6 days growth; which gave an observable lipid content of 57.9% dry wt.
