In a natural ecosystem, various organisms digest and hydrolyze lignocellulose biomass
efficiently. Termites are one of them. They digest lignocellulose biomass with the help of …

The aim of the present research was to isolate and identify cellulolytic bacteria from the gut
of the local termite Coptotermes curvignathus (Holmgren) present in the vicinity of the …

As a social insect, termite colony consists of three castes, ie reproductive, soldier, and
worker castes. In their role of cellulose digestion, the worker termites use two sources of …

Simple Summary Termites represent a unique and highly efficient system for lignocellulose
bioconversion. The highly efficient lignocellulolytic systems are achieved through …

Lignocellulosic biomass represents an unlimited and ubiquitous energy source, effectively
addressing current global energy demand challenges. However, the recalcitrant nature of …

A metagenomic fosmid library was constructed from genomic DNA isolated from the
microbial community residing in hindguts of a wood-feeding higher termite (Microcerotermes …

Nepal is rich in biodiversity with flora and fauna of various species scattered over different
geographical regions. Termites are found abundantly in Nepal in forests as well as in …

The aim of the present study was to isolate and characterize the cellulose-degrading
bacteria from the gut of the local termite, Microcerotermes diversus (Silvestri), inhabiting the …

Aims: To demonstrate the occurrence of cellulolytic bacteria in the termite Zootermopsis
angusticollis. Methods and Results: Applying aerobic cultivation conditions we isolated 119 …

Termites are global pests and can cause serious damage to buildings, crops, and plantation
forests. The symbiotic intestinal flora plays an important role in the digestion of cellulose and …
