Balancing pH and yield: exploring itaconic acid production in Ustilago cynodontis from an economic perspective

Abstract Background Itaconic acid is a promising bio-based building block for the synthesis of polymers, plastics, fibers and other materials. In recent years, Ustilago cynodontis has emerged as an additional itaconate producing non-conventional yeast, mainly due to its high acid tolerance, which si...
