    • 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 ...

    • Discovery and characterization of novel fungal diversity in the equine alimentary tract 

      Arreola, Alex X.; Meili, Casey H.; Youssef, Noha H. (Oklahoma State University, 2021-10-09)
      Fungi provide crucial ecosystem services in multiple ecosystems. Most fungi thrive as free-living organisms, but many forge symbiotic, predatory, pathogenic, and commensal relationships with algae, plants, and animals. One ...

    • Discovery and characterization of novel fungal diversity in the equine alimentary tract 

      Arreola, Alex X.; Meili, Casey H.; Youssef, Noha H. (Oklahoma State University, 2022-04-15)
      Most fungi thrive as free-living organisms, but few can forge symbiotic relationships with their hosts. One of the most enigmatic fungal groups are the anaerobic fungi (AF, phylum Neocallimastigomycota). They reside in the ...

    • 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 ...
