Methane is generated in the foregut of all ruminant animals by the microorganisms present.
Dietary manipulation is regarded as the most effective and most convenient way to reduce …

The increasing number of new fungal species described from all over the world along with
the use of genetics to define taxa, has dramatically changed the classification system of …

This paper is a compilation of notes on 142 fungal taxa, including five new families, 20 new
genera, and 100 new species, representing a wide taxonomic and geographic range. The …

Anaerobic fungi (AF) play an essential role in feed conversion due to their potent fiber
degrading enzymes and invasive growth. Much has been learned about this unusual fungal …

Compared to the higher fungi (Dikarya), taxonomic and evolutionary studies on the basal
clades of fungi are fewer in number. Thus, the generic boundaries and higher ranks in the …

Anaerobic fungi (phylum Neocallimastigomycota) are common inhabitants of the digestive
tract of mammalian herbivores, and in the rumen, can account for up to 20% of the microbial …

Survival and growth of the anaerobic gut fungi (AGF; Neocallimastigomycota) in the
herbivorous gut necessitate the possession of multiple abilities absent in other fungal …

Plant biomass is the largest reservoir of environmentally friendly renewable energy on earth.
However, the complex and recalcitrant structure of these lignocellulose-rich substrates is a …

The anaerobic gut fungi (AGF) inhabit the rumen and alimentary tracts of multiple ruminant
and nonruminant herbivores, belong to a distinct phylum-level lineage …

Anaerobic fungi in the digestive tract of herbivores are one of the critical types of fiber-
degrading microorganisms present in the rumen. They degrade lignocellulosic materials …
