Summary: | Starch and cellulose are the primary energy sources of herbivores. These polymeric carbohydrates are decomposed by enzymes and microorganisms in the rumen. To promote the complex process, the microbes and enzymes involved need to be comprehended in details (1). Similar microbial community degrades the cellulose-rich biomass in biogas reactors for efficient and sustainable renewable energy generation. Methane is an undesirable by-product in the rumen, whereas it is the main target commodity in the biogas technology. Dissecting the details of the metabolic pathways in the two systems can lead to the identification of the regulatory elements governing the bioconversion of lignocellulosic biomass (2). An important difference between the ruminal and biogas microbial communities is the high abundance of anaerobic fungi (AF) in the rumen and their scarce incidence in the biogas producing community. Therefore, we intend to explore the potential beneficial interactions between AF and methanogens to augment biogas/biomethane production. |
