“…Little is known about growth of A. melanogenum on vegetable oils as a single carbon source. Some other fungi, for instance, C. rugosa (Lakschmi et al, 1999;Serra et al, 1992) and several aspergilli (Reese et al, 1955) are known to be able to grow on linseed and olive oils. It is likely that A. melanogenum is able to use oil as nutrition, since it is known to produce lipase (Chi et al, 2009;Leathers et al, 2013;Leelaruji et al, 2013;Liu et al, 2008;Wang et al, 2007).…”
