abstract = {The ribosomal ITS 1 and ITS 2 fragments from 8 isolates of polycentric rumen anaerobic fungi were PCR-amplified and sequenced; the sequences obtained were aligned with published data and phylogenetic analyses were performed. The analysis of ITS 1 fragment clearly differentiated between the two polycentric genera Orpinomyces and Anaeromyces and these classification is supported by morphological observation. A multi-order phylogram based on ITS2 sequences proved that anaerobic rumen fungi are separated from aerobic chytrids, which form a well-supported monophylum with highest possible bootstrap proportion values of 100 % . Sequence analysis of ITS regions is a powerful tool for the classification of anaerobic fungi, however morphological description of strains is still necessary because some genera of rumen fungi display a high genetic heterogeneity.}
