Anaerobic fungi () isolated from the guts of herbivores are powerful biomass-degrading organisms that enhance their degradative ability through the formation of cellulosomes, multienzyme complexes that synergistically colocalize enzymes to extract sugars from recalcitrant plant matter. However, a functional understanding of how fungal cellulosomes are deployed to orchestrate plant matter degradation is lacking, as is knowledge of how cellulosome production and function vary throughout the morphologically diverse life cycle of anaerobic fungi. In this work, we generated antibodies against three major fungal cellulosome protein domains, a dockerin, scaffoldin, and glycoside hydrolase (GH) 48 protein, and used them in conjunction with helium ion and immunofluorescence microscopy to characterize cellulosome localization patterns throughout the life cycle of Piromyces finnis when grown on simple sugars and complex cellulosic carbon sources. Our analyses reveal that fungal cellulosomes are cell-localized entities specifically targeted to the rhizoids of mature fungal cells and bodies of zoospores. Examination of cellulosome localization patterns across life stages also revealed that cellulosome production is independent of growth substrate in zoospores but repressed by simple sugars in mature cells. This suggests that further exploration of gene regulation patterns in zoospores is needed and can inform potential strategies for derepressing cellulosome expression and boosting hydrolytic enzyme yields from fungal cultures. Collectively, these findings underscore how life cycle-dependent cell morphology and regulation of cellulosome production impact biomass degradation by anaerobic fungi, insights that will benefit ongoing efforts to develop these organisms and their cellulosomes into platforms for converting waste biomass into valuable bioproducts. Anaerobic fungi () isolated from the guts of herbivores excel at degrading ingested plant matter, making them attractive potential platform organisms for converting waste biomass into valuable products, such as chemicals and fuels. Major contributors to their biomass-hydrolyzing power are the multienzyme cellulosome complexes that anaerobic fungi produce, but knowledge gaps in how cellulosome production is controlled by the cellular life cycle and how cells spatially deploy cellulosomes complicate the use of anaerobic fungi and their cellulosomes in industrial bioprocesses. We developed and used imaging tools to observe cellulosome spatial localization patterns across life stages of the anaerobic fungus under different environmental conditions. The resulting spatial details of how anaerobic fungi orchestrate biomass degradation and uncovered relationships between life cycle progression and regulation of cellulosome production will benefit ongoing efforts to develop anaerobic fungi and their cellulosomes into useful biomass-upgrading platforms.
