The synthesis of bioactive lipids in three species of lower mycelial fungi of the genus Pilaira, the family Pilobolaceae, has been studied. The pigmentation of these fungi was found to be determined by the presence of β-carotene in amounts of 14.8 (P. moreaui), 115.7 (P. caucasica), and 312.9 (P. anomala) µg/g. The fatty acid profiles of the fungi are distinguished by the presence of up to 50% essential fatty acids, which is typical of zygomycetes of the order Mucorales. The fungi grown in submerged cultures showed a correlation of the degree of unsaturation of total fatty acids and the contents of β-carotene.
