The effects of exogenous plant essential oils and methanolic extracts on Mortierella alpine and the profile of fatty acids were investigated. The results showed that the plant’s essential oils and methanolic extracted oils strongly impacted on the amount of biomass, oil and AA production by Mortierella alpine. The highest and lowest positive effect on increasing the biomass relative to the control was reported from F. assa-foetida and L. stoechas. The results also showed that the most positive impact of increasing the oil and arachidonic acid level are related to R. officinalis and F. vulgare.
