The object of this work was to study the ability of Candida yeasts to accumulate biomass, lipids and wax in the course of their cultivation in a medium containing different concentrations of n-hexadecane. Its optimal concentration for the above processes was 1 to 2%. At a higher concentration (4 and 8%), the yield of wax and fat decreased, mainly due to inhibition of the culture growth.
