Abstract


The aim of this work was isolation, screening, and identification of fungal isolates had ability to produce biodiesel and studying the effect of different conditions on the quantity and quality of the biodiesel
The obtained results could be summarized at the following points:
1. Thirty- six fungal isolates were isolated from soil samples, collected from different locations in Egypt. The samples were collected from five areas Giza (2 samples), Assiut (2 samples) and El-Menia (1 sample).
2. Twenty five different fungal isolates were chosen out of 36 fungal isolates that qualitative screened by growing on basal medium without carbon source and using Nile Red stain was used for ability to bind with the lipid particles produced inside the cells and could be detected by fluorescence microscope.
3. Five fungal isolates were selected out of 25 isolates that quantitative screened for biomass yield and high biodiesel production. These isolates were named (A4, B4, C1, D10, and E1) according different locations.
4. Gas chromatography was used for fatty acid methyl esters (FAMEs) analysis of the tested isolates (A4, B4, C1, D10, and E1) and C1 isolate was the best biodiesel producer followed by D10.
5. Gas chromatography analysis for FAMEs of C1 isolate
