Abstract

After preliminary screening, Mortierella alpina and Mortierella elongata were compared with respect to arachidonic acid content. M. alpina ATCC 16266 produced 2.1 g of arachidonic acid per liter in media containing 10% glucose while the highest percentage of arachidonic acid in lipid (43.3%) was observed at a glucose concentration of 2%. Arachidonic acid content in lipids increased to 66% during storage.
