Abstract Ustilago scitaminea synthesizes specific carbohydrates, mainly erythritol and mannitol, plus smaller quantities of arabitol, inositol, and trehalose. Intensive secretion of erythritol is obtained when the fungus is grown in liquid culture. Glucose, fructose, or sucrose can be used interchangeably as carbon sources by the fungus, sucrose being quickly inverted.
