RESUMO
The possibility of using fat as food and fuel and the production of specific compounds from lipids has led research about micro-organisms capable of conversion carbohydrate into lipids. The microorganisms Candida parakrusei, Hansenula suaveloens and an unidentified yeast "yeast", isolated from sugar-alcohol sector have been studied for lipid productions utilising sugar-cane molasses and molasses supplemented with sodium chloride and calcium panthotenate. This factors stimulated the lipids total productions to the three micro-organisms. The major values was 60,26 per cent; 53,97 per cent and 58,46 per cent to C, parakrusei in NaCl at 0,1 N, H. suaveloens in calcium panthotenate 4ug/mL and yeast "a" in calcium panthotenate 16ug/mL respectively. Furthermore strain "a" achieved the highest values of phospolipids while strain C parakrusei the higest values of sterol and protein. The fatty acid analysis of strains showed predominance of oleic palmitic and linoleic acid
