This project investigates the use of Ustilaginaceae fungi for converting crude glycerol, a by-product of biodiesel production, into valuable chemicals. It aims to optimize malate production through metabolic engineering and isotope-assisted metabolomics.
Biodiesel production is usually accompanied by the production of 10% (w/v) glycerol as main low-value by-product, making it not yet economically competitive to petroleum-based processes.
Recently, Ustilaginaceae fungi have attracted more attention due to their abilities of using crude glycerol to produce chemicals of industrial interest.
Unlike established filamentous fungi, many Ustilaginaceae strains can grow in haploid and unicellular form, which are remarkably advantageous for industrial app…
