Maximum growth of best Ustilaginaceae candidates obtained from biodiversity screening. (A) The top 5 Ustilaginaceae candidates using acetate as a co-substrate (orange). #2707, #1946, and #2708 obtained the highest growth using 2.5 g L⁻¹ acetate whereas #2135 and #2136 obtained the best results using 10 g L⁻¹ acetate. (B) The top 5 Ustilaginaceae strains using 2.5 g L⁻¹ formate as a co-substrate (green). Growth Profiler 24-deep-well plate cultivation was performed in MTM medium with 4 g L⁻¹ NH₄Cl. Respective glucose references (20 g L⁻¹) are shown in blue. Error bars indicate the deviation from the mean for n = 2.
