Abstract
The plant secondary metabolites coumarin and sparteine reduced attachm ent to cellulose, cellulose solubilization, and the proportion of lact ate in the fermentation products of the anaerobic fungus Neocallimasti x frontalis RE1. Neither compound directly inhibited the endoglucanase or lactate dehydrogenase activities of cell extracts of the fungus.
