“…Factors such as incubation temperature, pH level at the start of the incubation, incubation time, carbon and nitrogen content were cited as the most important factors influencing lipid production in recent studies (Chiranjeevi & Venkata Mohan, 2016). Bandyopadhyay et al, (2003), found that 6 days is optimum for lipid production by Rhizopus nigricans SSSD-8. The objective of this study is to isolate and characterize poly-unsaturated fatty acidsproducing Rhizopus spp.…”

Zygomycetes especially oleaginous fungi have a great ability to produce huge quantities of lipids high in economically important poly-unsaturated fatty acids. About 32 isolates were isolated from oleaginous zygotes. Six of the 32 were identified as Rhizopus spp. identified. Tested for production of high levels of lipids. 6 out of 32 have the ability to produce huge quantities of lipids. The Rhizopus sp. UC 13 strain was selected for further optimization as it produced 1.05 gl -1 lipid with a lipid content of 39.21%. The production of lipids was increased using the Taguchi method which selected a number of factors at varying levels for the optimization process. Glucose, ammonium sulfate, temperature, pH and time directly affect lipogenesis. Saturated fatty acids (SFAs) were more prevalent than unsaturated fatty acids (USFAs) based on the GC-Mass profile, which also revealed that
