The present disclosure provides a method for reducing
methane emissions from a
ruminant comprising administering to the
ruminant a composition comprising a
fungal strain,
biomass from the
fungal strain, a culture supernatant from the
fungal strain wherein the fungal strain comprises at least one
vanadium-dependent haloperoxidase (VHPO) with an
amino acid sequence having at least 80% identity with an
amino acid sequence selected from the group consisting of SEQ ID NOs: 3-100 and a combination thereof. The present disclosure also provides a method for reducing
methane emissions with a fungal strain belonging to a
genus selected from the group consisting of
Alternaria, Ascomycota, Bipolaris, Cadophora, Cladorrhinum, Clohesyomyces, Darksidea, Didymella, Dothideomycetes, Drechslera, Exserohilum, Epicoccum, Exophiala, Gaeumannomyces, Gliomastix, Helotiales, Keissleriella, Laburnicola, Lachnum, Leptodontidium, Magnaporthiopsis, Mollisia, Neocamarosporium, Oidiodendron, Ophiosphaerella,
Penicillium, Phaeosphaeria, Phialophora,
Phoma, Pleosporales, Poaceascoma, Septoriella, Slopeiomyces, Sordariales,
Trametes, Trematosphaeria,
Trichoderma, and Tricladium.
