Abstract

Due to the high biodiversity of ecosystems in Mexico, there is a high variety of species, some of the most abundant are fungi, since there is a record of approximately 200 thousand endemic species in Mexico, traditionally the use given to these organisms It is nutritional and medicinal. One of the most characteristic species of our country is Ustilago maydis commonly known as huitlacoche, which presents various properties in its high nutritional value in amino acids, fats, antioxidants, proteins and its relevant use to treat different painful conditions, these applications have been demonstrated Due to the pharmaceutical and industrial interest that this species presents, however, different studies show that U. maydis could have potential biotechnological uses.
