Abstract

A study has been made of the effects of certain inorganic salts and of corn‐steep liquor (C.S.L.) on fat synthesis in cultures of Penicillium soppii; salt concentrations which promote this process have been determined. Addition of C.S.L. to the media improved the performance of the mould, particularly in ability to produce fat. Felts were harvested which contained slightly more than 40% of fat, with yields of fat as high as 12.5% on sucrose metabolized.
