Aureobasidium spp. and their applications in biotechnology

Highlights Abstract Aureobasidium spp. are the dimorphic fungi which have both major yeast cells and minor filamentous cells. Different strains of Aureobasidium spp. can synthesize different enzymes for utilization of a wide range of substrates including various wastes. Aureobasidium spp. also can synthesize many natural products such as pullulan, β-glucan, polymalate, liamocins, siderophores and melanin which have many applications in various sectors of biotechnology. Furthermore, their
