- Title
Biomass pretreatment affects Ustilago maydis in producing itaconic acid.
- Abstract
The article offers information on a research that analyzes the effect of biomass pretreatment on the ability of Ustilago maydis to produce itaconic acid. It is mentioned that itaconic acid produced can be used for synthesis of other biofuels such as 3-methyltetrahydrofuran. It is observed that nitrogen concentration of Ustilago maydis is the major limiting factor in the production of itaconic acid. Also, the biomass pretreatment increases the production of itaconic acid by Ustilago.
