Disease relevance of Neocallimasticales

Purification and characterization of a cellulase from the ruminal fungus Orpinomyces joyonii cloned in Escherichia coli [1].

High impact information on Neocallimasticales

A cyclophilin from the polycentric anaerobic rumen fungus Orpinomyces sp. strain PC-2 is highly homologous to vertebrate cyclophilin B [2].
Degenerate primers were designed to anneal to the highly conserved region within the NCDDs of the monocentric fungus Piromyces sp. strain E2 and the polycentric fungus Orpinomyces sp. strain PC-2 [3].
Single transcripts of 1.9 kb for celB and 1.5 kb for xynA were detected in total RNA of Orpinomyces grown on Avicel [4].
The rumen anaerobic fungi Orpinomyces joyonii A4 and Caecomyces communis JB1 were grown on microcrystalline cellulose (MC) and alfalfa hay [5].
An endoglucanase gene (celA) was isolated from a genomic library of the ruminal fungus Orpinomyces joyonii [6].

Chemical compound and disease context of Neocallimasticales

A cellulase from the ruminal fungus Orpinomyces joyonii cloned in Escherichia coli was purified 88-fold by chromatography on High Q and hydroxyapatite [1].

Biological context of Neocallimasticales

Cellulase and xylanase cDNAs were isolated from a cDNA library of the polycentric anaerobic fungus Orpinomyces sp. strain PC-2 constructed in Escherichia coli [4].
Two genes of the anaerobic fungus Orpinomyces sp. strain PC-2 encoding cellulases with endoglucanase activities may have arisen by gene duplication [7].

Anatomical context of Neocallimasticales

The technique based on fluorescein-linked lectins used to determine the cell wall structure of anaerobic rumen fungi belonging to genera: Neocallimastix, Piromonas and Sphaeromonas, appears to be an interesting tool for distinguishing between strains [8].

Associations of Neocallimasticales with chemical compounds

Polysaccharide hydrolase production by the rumen fungus Caecomyces communis [9].
The recombinant proteins CelE and CelB of Orpinomyces PC-2 randomly hydrolyzed carboxymethylcellulose and cello-oligosaccharides in the pattern of endoglucanases [7].
Both Sphaeromonas isolates also fermented xylan and xylose [10].
