Neocallimastix patriciarum

Neocallimastix patriciarum is a species of fungus that lives in the rumen of sheep, but has also been found in other species.[1] It is an anaerobe similar to N. frontalis, but its zoospores possess 9–17 flagella; they also have no equatorial constriction and its organelles are distributed uniformly.[2]
