Abstract: Microbial lipids are in the form of triacylglycerols (TAGs). Glucose was used as carbon source for accumulation of triacylglycerols. In this study, isolated fungi were screened for their lipid producing capacities by Sudan Black B staining method. Biochemical and molecular characterizations were done for identifications of potential lipid producers. The fungus Epicaleosporium ramularioids and Podosphaera xanthii showed its lipid productivity 24.2736% and 45.67% respectively. The extracted lipids were analyzed by Gas chromatography with mass spectroscopy for fatty acid determination.
