Preliminary study for lipid extraction from fungi biomass of Aspergillus oryzae

In the research of microbial biodiesel, there are numerous studies on biodiesel derived from microalgal lipids. Apart from the microalgae, biodiesel can also be produced using others oleaginous microorganisms such as yeast and fungi. There are studies that showed that oleaginous yeasts and fungi are...

There are studies that showed that oleaginous yeasts and fungi are able to accumulate lipids that can also be used as the feedstock for biodiesel production.

The study showed that Bligh and Dyer method resulted in higher lipid yield in comparison to Soxhlet method.
