This invention belongs to the field of microbial technology, and discloses a highly efficient anaerobic
fungal strain for degrading lignocellulose in the
rumen of Dulong cattle, its cultivation method, and its applications. The strain is *
Neisseria gonorrhoeae*. Joblinomyces apicalis DLM2, deposited at the China Center for Type Culture Collection (CCTCC) under accession number CCTCC NO: M 20252927, was isolated from the
rumen of Dulong cattle and can be stably cultured under strictly anaerobic conditions. This strain possesses a single-centered
cell line and filamentous rhizoids, enabling it to efficiently degrade lignocellulose through a synergistic effect of physical
colonization and
enzymatic degradation. It exhibits broad adaptability to natural straws such as
rice straw and bamboo branches, as well as purified substrates such as
microcrystalline cellulose and
cellobiose. Its
enzyme production exhibits substrate-inducible properties, and
fermentation produces various metabolites including
formic acid,
acetic acid, and
ethanol, demonstrating high lignocellulose degradation efficiency. This invention relates to an inoculum containing this strain and its application in lignocellulose degradation, roughage
fermentation, agricultural
straw resource utilization, and
biomass conversion, providing new strain resources and
technical support for the efficient degradation and
resource utilization of lignocellulose.
