✦ Synopsis

In search of hypercellulolytic microorganisms, ultraviolet irradiation carried out with Penicillium funiculosum has yielded a superior mutant. The investigations reported in this article are shake flask studies on some important nutritional requirements of the mutant, namely, nitrogen source, carbon source, and inducers. The mutant shows an ability to metabolize inorganic nitrogen sources like urea and sodium nitrate both for growth and enzyme production. A comparison of the long-term saccharification ability and the utilization efficiencyof the mutant enzyme with those reported in the literature is also carried out, showing the superior performance of the mutant enzyme.

## Lipid production by Penicilliurn lilacinurn in media containing various ratios of carbon and nitrogen has been studied. Factors affecting the lipid synthesis from diverse sources of carbon and nitrogen have been observed. Out of the nitrogen sources studied sodium nitrate produced 22.5"/0 fat.
