Attempts for cellulose-based itaconic acid production in literature

^#The key determinant to overcome the challenges associated with cellulose-based itaconic acid production. For reference, cases without specific adaptions are shown in red. *Yield is based on consumed glucose equivalents excluding cellulase production phase. ^§Averaged productivity excluding cellulase production phase. Glucose based reference datasets are shaded blue, results from this study are shaded green
