摘要：

Malt extract agar and an incubation temperature of 5 degrees C were used to selectively isolate representatives of the genus Mortierella from soil. Fungi in a soil sample from mountain grassland able to grow under these conditions, amounted to a total of 2640 colony forming units per gram soil. Circa 94% of the total fungal isolates represented Mortierella subgenus Mortierella. The rest of the colony-forming units consisted of Mucor isolates (6.0%) and higher fungi (1.5%). All the Mortierella isolates produced arachidonic acid.
