PUBLICATION: Biosynthesis of bromoform by Curvularia fungi provides a natural pathway to mitigate enteric methane emissions from ruminants

We are thrilled to announce that ROAM’s ground breaking research using naturally occurring, non-GMO fungal microbials to reduce methane emissions from ruminant livestock has been accepted for publication. The research paper titled “Biosynthesis of bromoform by Curvularia fungi provides a natural pathway to mitigate enteric methane emissions from ruminants” has been published in the peer-reviewed scientific journal, Biotechnology Reports.

This publication highlights that our fungi can reduce methane production by up to 90%, offering a natural, sustainable, and highly scalable solution to help the agricultural industry combat climate change — all whilst indicating animal productivity is not compromised.

Highlights:

• Methane emissions from ruminant livestock are a major greenhouse gas source.

• Bromoform feed additives can reduce livestock methane by >90%.

• Curvularia soil fungi produce bromoform and prevent rumen methane emission.

• These natural, culturable fungi offer a unique climate change strategy.
