“…These shared genera were mostly saprophytic and/or coprophilous fungi and more often than not identified as plant pathogens (Arenal et al., 2005; Barilli et al., 2016; Frenkel et al., 2010; Gonzalez‐Menendez et al., 2017; Jellis & Punithalingam, 1991; Lee et al., 2021; Massimo et al., 2015; Meena et al., 2017; Prasongsuk et al., 2018; Thomma, 2003; Zhang et al., 2014). Indeed, the genera found as outliers in specific samples, Botryotrichium , Camasporium , Lasiobolus and Zygosaccharomyces , also shared these characteristics (Bezerra & Kimbrough, 1975; Crous & Groenewald, 2017; Huseyin et al., 2017; Iannotta et al., 1999, 2007; Péter, 2021; Ryu et al., 2023; Wang et al., 2016).…”

The African savanna elephant (Loxodonta africana) is the largest terrestrial animal on Earth and is found primarily in Southern and Eastern Africa. It is a hindgut, colonic fermenter and subsists on a diet of raw plant materials found in its grazing area. In this study the bacterial, archaeal and fungal populations of seven African savanna elephant fecal metagenomes were first characterized using amplicon sequencing. On the genus level it was observed that the p‐1088‐a5 gut group in the bacteriome, Methanocorpusulum and Methanobrevibacter in the archaeome and Alternaria, Aurobasidium, Didymella and Preussia in the mycome, predominated. Subsequently, metagenomic shotgun sequencing was employed to identify possible functional pathways and carbohydrate‐active enzymes (CAZymes). Carbohydrate catabolic pathways represented the main degradation pathways, and the fecal metagenome was enriched in the glycohydroside (GH) class of CAZymes. Additionally, the top GH families identified – GH43, GH2, GH13 and GH3 – are known to be associated with cellulytic, hemicellulytic and pectolytic activities. Finally, the CAZymes families identified in the African savanna elephant were compared with those found in the Asian elephant and it was demonstrated that there is a unique repository of CAZymes that could be leveraged in the biotechnological context such as the degradation of lignocellulose for the production of second‐generation biofuels and energy.
