Description
Rajan Dhakal, Wei Guo, and their co-authors review progress in finding plant fiber digesting enzymes in the fungi that live in animal stomachs. Their 2025 review covers anaerobic fungi, which grow without oxygen in the guts of plant eating mammals and help break down tough forage. The group counts twenty two named genera so far, with more likely waiting to be described.
These fungi make a wide spread of enzymes that cut cellulose, hemicellulose, and pectin, the main parts of plant cell walls. Their root like networks also tear plant tissue apart, opening more surface for the enzymes. The review sums up the range and roles of these enzymes. Such natural toolkits interest firms that turn plant waste into fuel and feed.
