Transfer of an Itaconate Production Process in Ustilago maydis to the BioFlo® 120 Bioprocess Control Station

The unsaturated dicarboxylic acid itaconate is used as a building block for the production of pharmaceuticals and adhesives, as a copolymer for synthetic resins, and is a promising starting material for biofuel production. The following application note highlights the simplicity and ease of use of the new BioFlo 120 bioprocess control station, through a successful process transfer from its predecessor, the New Brunswick™ BioFlo/CelliGen^® 115.
