Background Lignocellulose is the most abundant renewable carbon resource that can be
used for biofuels and commodity chemicals production. The ability of complex microbial …

Termites are xylophages, being able to digest a wide variety of lignocellulosic biomass
including wood with high lignin content. This ability to feed on recalcitrant plant material is …

The hunt for renewable and alternative fuels has driven research towards the biological
conversion of lignocellulosic biomass (LCB) into biofuels, including bioethanol and …

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

Lignin is a major lock for lignocellulose valorization in biorefineries, prompting a need to find
new ligninolytic systems. Termites are efficient lignocellulose degraders, and a large part of …

The aim of this review is to give a summary of natural lignocellulose-degrading systems
focusing mainly on animal digestive tracts of wood-feeding insects and ruminants in order to …

Lignocellulosic biomass is the most abundant renewable energy resource on earth that can
be utilized for biofuel production. However, its utilization in biofuel production is limited due …

Microbial consortia producing specific enzymatic cocktails are present in the gut of
phytophagous and xylophagous insects; they are known to be the most efficient ecosystems …

Bioaugmenting lignocellulose digestion with potent lignocellulolytic microbiomes (LMs)
facilitates efficient biomethanation. Assessing the metabolic roles of microbial communities …

Their ability to degrade lignocellulose gives termites an important place in the carbon cycle.
This ability relies on their partnership with a diverse community of bacterial, archaeal and …
