Description Of the 4 Rhodotorula spp. tested for their oleagenicity, R. gracilis CFR-1 was found to be a potential lipid producer. Using Enebo's medium as a reference, a selective medium (glucose: 40, NH4NO3: 0.285, yeast extract: 1.5, MgSO4.7H2O: 0.4, CaCl2.2H2O: 0.4, KH2PO4: 0.75 g/l, pH 5.0) was developed and it increased the oleagenicity of R. gracilis CFR-1 to greater than 65%.
