An Ustilago maydis chassis for itaconic acid production without by‐products

Summary Ustilago maydis is a promising yeast for the production of a range of valuable metabolites, including itaconate, malate, glycolipids and triacylglycerols. However, wild‐type strains generally produce a potpourri of all of these metabolites, which hinders efficient production of single target...
