Abstract
⺠This study highlights the potential of thin stillage (TS) in supporting the growth of oleaginous Mucor circinelloides. ⺠Highest biomass yield obtained was 20 g/L (dry), with a lipid content of 46% (g of oil per 100 g dry biomass). ⺠Supplementing TS with crude glycerol (10%, v/v) led to 32% increase in cellular oil content. ⺠Concentration of γ-linolenic acid (C18:3) in Mucor-YMoil (17 wt.%) was much higher than Mucor-TSoil (1.4 wt.%). ⺠Efficient method of converting thin stillage into high-value fungal lipids and animal feed.
