depending on the culture conditionsOleaginous fungi from the genus Mortierella have been used for
production of lipids rich in polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs).
The major PUFAs produced by fungi are c-linolenic acid
(GLA- C18:3 x-6), dihomo-c-linolenic acid (DHGLA- C20:3 x-6),
arachidonic acid (ARA- C20:4 x-6), and docosahexaenoic acid
(DHA- C22:3 x-3).
