Summary: This study reveals the selective enrichment of certain genera in media with rumen fluid and depleted rumen fluid from rumen and non-rumen samples,respectively. Additionally, five new clades were defined from fecal samples of llama, guanaco, yak, and elephant. Therefore, the non-rumen fluid medium is recommended for isolating anaerobic fungi from non-rumen environments.

Summary: Anaerobic fungi in the digestive tract of herbivores play a critical role in the rumen ecosystem by degrading lignocellulosic materials and producing metabolic products such as H-2/CO2, formate, lactate, acetate, and ethanol. Methanogens in the rumen utilize some of these products to produce methane. The interaction between anaerobic fungi and methanogens is important for understanding microbial relationships in the rumen, as they stimulate each other's growth and metabolic pathways.

Summary: This study investigated the changes in rumen microbiome of goats switched from forage to concentrate diet, with a focus on anaerobic fungi. The results showed significant alterations in microbial communities, especially in anaerobic fungi, suggesting that the rumen ecosystem acts as a source for novel microorganisms and unexplored microbial interactions. Additionally, the initial rumen microbiota of the host animal significantly influences the reaction pattern upon diet change.

Summary: Lignocellulose is a promising feedstock for biofuel production, but pretreatments are needed to overcome its natural recalcitrance. Anaerobic fungi have potential for biofuel production due to their effective ability to hydrolyse lignocellulose and convert it to H-2 and ethanol, as well as produce volatile fatty acid precursors for further conversion.

Summary: The study investigates the isolation and identification of five strains of anaerobic fungi, revealing their main metabolic products with a preference for hydrogen, acetate, and formate. Differences in growth and metabolic products on different carbon sources, as well as reactions to elevated sugar concentrations, were discussed.

Summary: Anaerobic fungi have rich biosynthetic potential, but their biosynthetic pathways have limited success in model hosts like E. coli. This is due to the extreme AT bias in the genome of anaerobic fungi like P. indianae, which causes growth defects in E. coli. Codon optimization rescues growth and enables gene evaluation in otherwise difficult to express genes.
