Sugar-mediated inhibition of growth and lignocellulose degradation in anaerobic gut fungi revealed using cellulose filter paper

Anaerobic gut fungi (AGF) are central to the degradation of plant material in the digestive systems of herbivores. However, how their environment influences their colonisation and degradation of complex biomass is unclear. Here, cellulose filter paper was used as a simplified model of the plant cell wall to investigate...

Comparative sugar utilisation and metabolism of mannose as co-substrate indicate flexibility in carbon metabolism in anaerobic gut fungi

Anaerobic gut fungi (AGF) are key degraders of plant biomass in ruminants, yet there is limited knowledge of how AGF respond to mixtures of plant-derived sugars. Here, we assessed monosaccharide and disaccharide utilisation by Neocallimastix frontalis CoB3, Caecomyces communis SHB, and Piromyces edwardsiae SHC, which a...

Linear phycoxyloglucan with oligo-xylose domains in the green seaweed Ulva: a unique hemicellulose.

The major hemicellulose of Ulva is a β-(1→4)-linked linear polysaccharide of Xyl and Glc, which the authors term phycoxyloglucan, which has runs of up to three contiguous β-Xyl and three contiguous β-Glc residues, thus differing fundamentally from land-plant xyloglucan.
