Abstract
Rumen is an area with high potential for growing of diverse living organisms including anaerobic fungi. The most studies on rumen fungi focused on anaerobic fungi classified asChytridiomycetes, familyNeocallimasticaceas, while few studies have done on determination ofZygomycetesthat can be native in the rumen. The most fungi within the subkingdomZygomycotinabelong to the classZygomycetes. Fungi in this class possess some distinctive properties that contain rapid growth, nonseptate mycelium, reproduction by sporangiospores (Pittet al., 1985) and production of some hydrolytic enzymes (Vinogradovaet al.,2003). The aim of this study was microscopic examination and molecular analysis of nuclear small subunit (SSU; 18S rDNA) of ruminal fungi,Zygomycete, and its reproductive manner in sheep.
