| Abstract: | Neutral lipids of ambrosial fungi, nutritionally important to development of Xyleborus ferrugineus beetle, were analyzed for fatty acid composition. Predominant components were 16:0, 18:0, 18:1 and 18:2 in all three mutualistic fungi, Fusarium solani, Cephalosporium sp. and Graphium sp. F. solani had nearly twice the total content of the other two species; age of mycelia did not significantly affect the qualitative composition and total yield. |
