Neocallimastix frontalis PN-1 utilized the soluble sugars D-glucose, D-cellobiose, D-fructose, maltose, sucrose, and D-xylose for growth. L-Arabinose, D-galactose, D-mannose, and D-xylitol did not support growth of the fungus. Paired substrate test systems were used to determine whether any two sugars were utilized simultaneously or sequentially. Of the paired monosaccharides tested, glucose was found to be preferentially utilized compared with fructose and xylose. The disaccharides cellobiose and sucrose were preferentially utilized compared with fructose and glucose, respectively, an cellobiose was also the preferred substrate compared with xylose. Xylose was the preferred substrate compared with maltose. In further incubations, the fungus was grown on the substrate utilized last in the two-substrate tests. After moderate growth was attained, the preferred substrate was added to the culture medium. Inhibition of nonpreferred substrate utilization by the addition of the preferred substrate was taken as evidence of catabolite regulation. For the various combinations of substrates tested, fructose and xylose utilization was found to be inhibited in the presence of glucose, indicating that catabolite regulation was involved. No clear-cut inhibition was observed with any of the other substrate combinations tested. The significance of these findings in relation to rumen microbial interactions and competitions is discussed.
