Termite guts harbor a dense and diverse microbiota that is essential for symbiotic digestion.
The major players in lower termites are unique lineages of cellulolytic flagellates, whereas …

Termites are among the most successful animal groups, accomplishing nutrient acquisition
through long-term associations and enzyme provisioning from microbial symbionts. Fungus …

Gut microbes play a crucial role in decomposing lignocellulose to fuel termite societies, with
protists in the lower termites and prokaryotes in the higher termites providing these services …

Lignocellulosic biomass is a promising substrate for biogas production. However, its
recalcitrant structure limits conversion efficiency. This study aims to design a microbial …

Recent developments in sequencing technology have given rise to a large number of
studies that assess bacterial diversity and community structure in termite and cockroach guts …

Lignocellulosic biomass (LCB) in the form of agricultural, forestry, and agro-industrial wastes
is globally generated in large volumes every year. The chemical components of …

Gut microbes play an important role in the biology and evolution of insects. Australian native
dung beetles (Scarabaeinae) present an opportunity to study gut microbiota in an …

Many recent breakthroughs in our understanding of termite biology have been facilitated by
“omics” research. Omic science seeks to collectively catalog, quantify, and characterize …

Termites constitute part of diverse and economically important termite fauna in Africa, but
information on gut microbiota and their associated soil microbiome is still inadequate. In this …

Fungus-growing termites (subfamily Macrotermitinae) mix plant forage with asexual spores
of their plant-degrading fungal symbiont Termitomyces in their guts and deposit this blend in …
