      abstract     = {Basidiomycetes fungi of the family Ustilaginaceae are
                      mainly known as plant pathogens causing smut disease on
                      crops and grasses. However, they are also natural producers
                      of value-added substances like glycolipids, organic acids,
                      polyols, and harbor secretory enzymes with promising
                      hydrolytic activities. These attributes recently evoked
                      increasing interest in their biotechnological exploitation.
                      The corn smut fungus Ustilago maydis is the best
                      characterized member of the Ustilaginaceae. After decades of
                      research in the fields of genetics and plant pathology, a
                      broad method portfolio and detailed knowledge on its biology
                      and biochemistry are available. As a consequence, U. maydis
                      has developed into a versatile model organism not only for
                      fundamental research but also for applied biotechnology.
                      Novel genetic, synthetic biology, and process development
                      approaches have been implemented to engineer yields and
                      product specificity as well as for the expansion of the
                      repertoire of produced substances. Furthermore, research on
                      U. maydis also substantially promoted the interest in other
                      members of the Ustilaginaceae, for which the available tools
                      can be adapted. Here, we review the latest developments in
                      applied research on Ustilaginaceae towards their
                      establishment as future biotech cell factories.},
