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...
