The enrichment process and morphological identification of anaerobic fungi isolated from buffalo rumen

Abstract. Agustina S, Wiryawan KG, Suharti Meryandini A. 2021. The enrichment process and morphological identification of anaerobic fungi isolated from buffalo rumen. Biodiversitas 23: 469-477. Anaerobic are one the microbes that have an important role in rumen fiber degradation because they can produce cellulase enzymes penetrate feed particles. Nevertheless, few studies were performed to test potential Indonesia. Therefore, present study was carried out evaluate impact on pH value, zoospores population, NH3 (ammonia) concentration, VFA (Volatile Fatty Acid) proportion. In addition, this research also isolate identify their characteristics. stage using Hungate method. Results showed population zoospores, ammonia proportion acetate, total significantly affected by incubation time (P<0.01). Caecomyces, Neocallimastix, Piromyces with different It be concluded increased zoospore concentration NH3, acetate proportion, but decreased media's value.
