Abstract
         Twenty five local filamentous fungi were screened for their abilities to produce lipids using Nile-red staining assay. Among the tested filamentous fungi, Penicillium commune NRC 2016for biodiesel production was selected and identified based on the morphological and molecular methods. Gas chromatography (GC) analysis of lipids by this fungus showed that, the resulted fatty acids are suitable for biodiesel production. The resulted fatty acids were 20% palmitic acid, 4.65% stearic acid, 13.77% oleic acid, 32% linoleic acid, 1.75% α-linolenic acid and 16.1% arachidonic acid. In conclusion, this work revealed the possibility of using the promising fungal strain P. commune NRC 2016 in biodiesel production.
