The rumen of ruminants is a natural anaerobic fermentation system that efficiently degrades
lignocellulosic biomass and mainly depends on synergistic interactions between multiple …

Anaerobic fungi (AF, phylum Neocallimastigomycota) are best known for their ability to
efficiently break down lignocellulosic biomass. Their unique combination of mechanical and …

Protozoa comprise a major fraction of the microbial biomass in the rumen microbiome, of
which the entodiniomorphs (order: Entodiniomorphida) and holotrichs (order …

Lignocellulosic biorefineries require innovative solutions to realize their full potential, and
the discovery of novel lignocellulose-active enzymes could improve biorefinery …

Highlights•Anaerobic gut fungi express large arrays of biomass degrading
enzymes.•Anaerobic fungi may be used in consortia for improved animal health.•Gut fungi …

Anaerobic fungi are powerful platforms for biotechnology that remain unexploited due to a
lack of genetic tools. These gut fungi encode the largest number of lignocellulolytic …

This paper explores the extent to which enzymatic and bacterial biodelignification systems
can breakdown lignocellulose in model wastes to potentially enhance biogas generation …

Abstract Development of the bioeconomy is driven by our ability to access the energy‐rich
carbon trapped in recalcitrant plant materials. Current strategies to release this carbon rely …

The anaerobic gut fungi (Neocallimastigomycota), first described almost 50 years ago, hold
extraordinary potential for biotechnology. Anaerobic fungi could contribute to bioenergy and …
