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 how the presence of free sugars in the rumen can affect AGF growth and degradative responses of phylogenetically distinct AGF isolates. From this, galactose was revealed to be inhibitory to both Neocallimastix frontalis and Caecomyces communis, and mannose inhibitory to C. communis. Complete inhibition of C. communis growth was conserved when galactose and mannose were added in their polymeric forms, whereas in contrast, N. frontalis growth was unaffected. This indicates, depending on the AGF isolate, the presence of free sugars and their polymeric form may influence AGF growth through regulatory and metabolic interactions - even if the sugar cannot be utilised for growth as the sole substrate. Collectively, this work highlights the functional diversity in AGF carbohydrate responses and the need for greater understanding of their metabolic regulation for applications in lignocellulosic bioconversion and ruminant nutrition.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
