Other claims from this paper (8)
- Intervention effect Incubation with the three rumen fungi removed the major cell wall components of lucerne.
- Association Caecomyces communis gave the least dry weight loss of lucerne cell walls.
- Observation Scanning electron microscopy showed that the fungi extensively colonized different cell types of lucerne.
- Observation Caecomyces communis specifically colonized secondary xylem fibres of lucerne.
- Association Caecomyces communis showed much less degradation of lucerne cell walls than N. frontalis and P. communis.
- Observation Neocallimastix frontalis and Piromyces communis were efficient degraders of the cell walls of lucerne xylem cylinders.
- Observation Pectic polysaccharides, xylan and cellulose were degraded in lucerne cell walls.
- Mechanism Loss of lignin probably resulted from cleavage of xylan releasing xylan-lignin complexes.
