Abstract
The fatty acid compositions of total, neutral, and polar lipids of Beauveria bassiana, Metarrhizium anisopliae, Isaria farinosa, and Hirsutella gigantea were determined. Major fatty acids were palmitic, oleic, and linoleic; smaller amounts of palmitoleic, stearic, and α-linolenic were also present. Neutral lipid contained a higher proportion of oleic and stearic acids than did total and polar lipid, whilst polar lipid had the highest proportion of linoleic acid. The rest of the acids were evenly distributed between the two fractions.
