FIELD: chemistry.
SUBSTANCE: invention relates to biotechnology. Spores of filamentous fungi Cunninghamella are grown on wort agar at temperature 27-28°C for 5-6 days. Trehalose in amount of 0.2% is added to the wort agar layer. The spores are washed and held for 20-30 minutes in sterile tap water while slightly shaking. The washed off spores are fermented as inoculum for 90-96 hours at temperature 29±0.5°C on a culture medium containing glucose, ammonium nitrate, magnesium sulphate heptahydrate, potassium dihydrophosphate, a yeast extract and 0.1-0.2% D-glucosamine or 0.11-0.15% N-acetyl-B-glucosamine. The obtained biomass is separated and lyophilised. Lipids are extracted by shaking the lyophilised biomass with a mixture of chloroform and ethyl alcohol in ratio 2:1 on a shaker.
EFFECT: method increases output of lipids.
