Itaconate and (S)-2-hydroxyparaconate production by various species in the Ustilaginaceae cultivated on glucose and glycerol. Itaconate and (S)-2-hydroxyparaconate concentrations after 120 h or 384 h System Duetz^® cultivations in screening medium with glucose or glycerol, respectively. The U. maydis ΔUmag_ria1 mutant derived from wild type strain MB215 was used as a negative control. Error bars indicate standard deviation from the mean (n = 3)
