Anaeromyces Breton et al. The genus Anaeromyces was described using morphological characteristics by Breton et al. (1991). Following isolation of Anaeromyces mucronatus from the rumen of a cow. The type culture, Anaeromyces mucronatus (NR_111156.1) was obtained from faeces of an American bison by Fliegerova et al. (2004). This group isolated a number of different [...]

Piromyces J.J. Gold et al. Monoflagellated protozoans found in the rumen were assigned to the genus Piromonas (Liebetanz 1910; Braune 1913). Orpin concluded that these flagellated cells were in fact zoospores of anaerobic fungi (Orpin 1977a). Orpin retained the generic name on the assumption that the fungi he isolated from the sheep rumen were [...]
Neocallimastix Vávra & Joyon ex I.B. Heath The genus Neocallimastix was described by Vavra and Joyon (1966). At that time, the propensity for nutritional microbiologists to work with rumen fluid and discard rumen solids meant that the solids-associated vegetative stage of the fungus was not recognized. The zoospores of the fungus evident in rumen [...]
