| Abstract: | Anaerobic fungi (AF) of the phylum Neocallimastigomycota are a very peculiar group of microorganisms. Since their first discovery in the early nineteen-hundreds and assignment to the kingdom Fungi in 1975 by Orpin [1], many researchers have delved into these highly potent degraders of lignocellulosic biomass (LCB). Their panoply of hydrolytic enzymes makes them key players in the digestive tract of herbivores, but their occurrence may not be restricted to this habitat alone. Despite the plenitude of research on this AF group, many questions still remain unanswered, and the implementation of AF within, e.g., biomethanation of LCB or bioethanol production, is still in its infancy. This is where international projects such as “Unleashing the Hidden Potential of Anaerobic Fungi” (https://www.hipoaf.com; accessed last on 14 February 2023) hook in and aim at answering basic questions such as ideal growth conditions, improved and novel detection techniques, screening for novel habitats, strains and enzymes, symbiotic interactions of AF, and, eventually, at paving the way to the successful biotechnological implementation of these unique microorganisms. These questions are also the scope of this Special Issue, comprising eight original articles and two reviews that are dedicated to recent updates on various fields of AF research. The contributions span from AF in animal husbandry and biotechnology over AF systematics, physiology and molecular detection to isolation strategies. |
