title: [Progress in microbial synthesis and application of polymalic acid].
abstract: Polymalic acid, known as a bioactive material, is completely biodegradable, and has far reaching application potential in medical field. Combined with our own findings, we summarized advances in polymalic acid metabolism, microbial fermentation synthesis, and application research in the medical field. Finally, prospect for further research was addressed.
