| dilution rate increases production of plant cell-wall degrading enzymes by anaerobic fungi in continuous-flow culture. | the gut anaerobic fungi,neocallimastix hurleyensis and aorpinomyces sp., were grown in 100 ml batch and continuous-flow cultures on wheat straw at a concentration of 80 g dry matter/l of culture liquid. in batch cultures,n. hurleyensis and orpinomyces sp. degraded only ca. 9% and 5% of the wheat straw, respectively. in continuous-flow cultures, however, the two fungi degraded 52-56% of the apparent dry matter of wheat straw. both fungi were able to produce greater quantities (up to x 30) of cell ... | 1997 | 16887562 |
