    • Continued isolation of anaerobic gut fungi from marsupial hosts 

      Chandler, Emily E.; Pratt, Carrie J.; Youssef, Noha H. (Oklahoma State University, 2023-04-18)
      Anaerobic gut fungi (AGF) are commonly found in the digestive tracts of herbivores, where they play a crucial role in breaking down complex plant materials, such as cellulose and lignin, by adhering to plant biomass and ...

    • Culturing novel anaerobic gut fungi from marsupials 

      Chandler, Emily E.; Pratt, Carrie J.; Youssef, Noha H. (Oklahoma State University, 2022-04-19)
      Anaerobic gut fungi (AGF) from the phylum Neocallimastigomycota are an essential part of the microbiome in herbivores. These fungi aid in digestion in ruminants, pseudoruminants, and nonruminants alike, where they adhere ...

    • Towards culturing anaerobic gut fungi from an avian herbivore 

      Goodwin, Kale; Pratt, Carrie J. (Oklahoma State University, 2022-04-19)
      Anaerobic gut fungi (AGF, phylum Neocallimastigomycota) are an understudied group of microorganisms that reside in the digestive tracts of herbivorous mammals and aid in plant biomass degradation. This degradation is ...

    • Transcriptomic analysis of lignocellulosic biomass degradation by the anaerobic fungal isolate Orpinomyces sp. strain C1A 

      Couger, M. B.; Youssef, Noha H.; Struchtemeyer, Christopher G.; Liggenstoffer, Audra S.; Elshahed, Mostafa S. (BioMed Central, 2015-12-08)
      Background: Anaerobic fungi reside in the rumen and alimentary tract of herbivores where they play an important role in the digestion of ingested plant biomass. The anaerobic fungal isolate Orpinomyces sp. strain C1A is ...

    • Utilizing anaerobic fungi for two-stage sugar extraction and biofuel production from lignocellulosic biomass 

      Ranganathan, Abhaya; Smith, Olivia P.; Youssef, Noha H.; Struchtemeyer, Christopher G.; Atiyeh, Hasan K.; Elshahed, Mostafa S. (Frontiers Media, 2017-04-11)
      Lignocellulosic biomass is a vast and underutilized resource for the production of sugars and biofuels. However, the structural complexity of lignocellulosic biomass and the need for multiple pretreatment and enzymatic ...
