Abstract The objective of this study were to identify the fatty acid composition for decanoic (C10:0), tridecanoic (C13:0), myristic (C14:0), pentadecanoic (C15:0), palmitic (C16:0), stearic (C18:0), oleic (C18:1n9c), linoleic (C18:2n6c), arachidic (C20:0), arachidonic (C20:4n6), heneicosanoic (C21:0), erucic (C22:1n9) and Cis-4,7,10,13,16,19-docosahexaenoic (C22:6n3) acids by Neocallimastix, Orpinomyces, Caecomyces and Piromyces species of rumen fungus during in vitro culture. Fatty acid (FA) profi le of anaerobic fungi comprises carbon chains of length ranging from 10 to 22 were analyzed as methyl esters. Analysis of fatty acids was performed using Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrophotometer (GC-MS). FA measures are presented as proportions of relative amounts (% total fatty acid). The highest amounts of fatty acids for all samples were found as myristic (C14:0) acid. The tridecanoic (C13:0) acid represented the second abundant FA in the fungi in all experimental groups. Stearic acid (C18:0) was the third major fatty acid for isolates investigated in the current study. In addition, another fatty acid was palmitic (C16:0) acid with relative amount representing >20 % of total FA in all samples. Pentadecanoic (C15:0) acid could not be found in any other samples except Orpinomyces sp. (GMLF5). It is concluded that biohydrogenation of fatty acid composition by anaerobic gut fungi are very variable.
