Isolation, Enumeration, and Maintenance of Rumen Anaerobic Fungi in Roll Tubes

K N Joblin 1
PMCID: PMC244162  PMID: 16345904

Abstract

Anaerobic phycomycetous fungi have been isolated from rumen fluid by using the Hungate roll tube technique. Cultures on solid substrates in roll tubes can be stored for long periods, and fungal zoospores can be enumerated in roll tubes.
