The smut fungus relatives (Ustilaginaceae) are a family from the order of the smut fungus-like (Ustilaginales). The family comprises 17 genera and 607 species .

Biotechnological relevance

Many species naturally produce a wide range of valuable chemicals (e.g. secondary metabolites , TCA cycle intermediates) with increasing biotechnological interest. These chemicals include polyols ( erythritol , mannitol ), organic acids ( itaconic acid , malate , succinate ), extracellular glycolipids ( mannosylerythritol lipids , Ustilagic acid ), iron-binding siderophores, and tryptophan derivatives.
