[Microorganisms as potential source of fats].
The production of fat and fatty acids from microorganisms have come up as a problem recently. Since, the fat originated from plants and animals in living world is not enough for the increasing world population. The most important problem was to select the true microorganisms for microbial fat production. Although the fact that bacteria grow fast but due to having small cellular mass production they were not chosen for this purpose, instead, various subspecies of yeast such as Candida, Rhodotorula were studied. These subspecies were generally grown up fast, having a highest cellular mass and giving a mixture of homogeneous fermentation liquor and collected easily by centrifugation.
