Cultivation of Zoophthora (Erynia) neoaphidis , in comparison with other species of Zoophthora genus, requires more complex nitrogen source. The best mycelium growth was obtained when 8 day old mycelium was used as an inoculum for liquid culture. On the basis of Gas Chromatography/Mass Spectrometry (GC/MS) methods, the structures of the neutral lipids produced by this fungus species, were determined. Decanoic acid was the most characteristic component (over 45%). The level of hexadecanoic and octadecanoic acid was relatively lower, although their contribution as „bonded” acid in diacylglyceride (DG) and triacylglyceride (TG) fractions, was significant. Contrary to Zoophthora (Erynia) ovispora , the presence of campesterol and/or dihydrobrassicosterol was proved.
