Abstract
Fungal growth and fat formation on date extract “dibis” medium were poor and slow. Addition of corn‐steep liquor (c.s.l.) as a source of nitrogen and other nutritive substances led to a remarkable increase in growth and in fat yield. The fat content in fungal mycelium increased about 4 times.
Shaken cultures were superior to still cultures with regard to growth and fat yield only when a high concentration of c.s.l. was added to dibis medium. Under other experimental conditions, still cultures led to heavier mycelium and higher fat contents than shaken cultures.
