Crude lipid extracts were prepared from Choanephora cucurbitarum which had been grown on a glucose‐glutamie acid medium for periods up to 12 days. Methanolysis of the extracts and gas chromatography of the esters revealed that palmitate accumulated continuously at a rate 7‐fold that of palmitoleate. Oleate accumulation followed a different pattern at a rate nearly 6‐fold that of stearate. The esters included linoleate and four others which were not identified.
