<br/><br/> The aim of the current investigation was to study biodiesel production by Fusarium  oxysporum, Asperigullus brasiliensis , Penicillium brevicompactum and Gliocladium  roseum cultured on two types of agricultural wastes, el-ghasheem and wheat straw.  The nutritional, physiological and environmental factors affecting lipid production  from these fungi were optimized. Lipids were studied using Fourier transform infrared  spectrometer (FTIR) indicating the presence of triglycerides and after  transesterification of lipids showed the presence of fatty acid methyl esters. The fatty  acids profiles were also determined by gas chromatography (GC) coupled with flame  ionization detector and GC-mass spectroscopy.The results showed that lipids from  these fungi was a potential alternative resource for biodiesel production
