* Values quoted are with zero decimal places. ** Neocallimastix sp., isolate R1 was classified N. hurleyensis [150] and subsequently reclassified as N. frontalis [151]. *** Calculated on assumption that H₂ mL reported in referenced paper was stated at 1 atm. All substrates were autoclaved prior to fermentation and fermented in batch culture.
