The anaerobic fungus Anaeromyces mucronatus KF8 grown in batch culture on M10 medium with rumen fluid and microcrystalline cellulose as carbon source produced a broad range of enzymes requisite for degradation of plant structural and storage saccharides including cellulase, endoglucanase, xylanase, alpha-xylosidase, beta-xylosidase, alpha-glucosidase, beta-glucosidase, beta-galactosidase, mannosidase, cellobiohydrolase, amylase, laminarinase, pectinase and pectate lyase. These enzymes were detected in both the intra- and extracellular fractions, but production into the medium was prevalent with the exception of intracellular beta-xylosidase, chitinases, N-acetylglucosaminidase, and lipase. Xylanase activity was predominant among the polysaccharide hydrolases. Extracellular production of xylanase was stimulated by the presence of cellobiose and oat spelt xylan.
