Extensive research efforts have been dedicated to describing degradation of wood, which is
a complex process; hence, microorganisms have evolved different enzymatic and non …

Insect guts present distinctive environments for microbial colonization, and bacteria in the
gut potentially provide many beneficial services to their hosts. Insects display a wide range …

The insect gut microbiota has been shown to contribute to the host's digestion, detoxification,
development, pathogen resistance, and physiology. However, there is poor information …

Lignocellulose—the dry matter of plants, or “plant biomass”—digestion is of increasing
interest in organismal metabolism research, specifically the conversion of biomass into …

To explore the unmapped biotechnologically important microbial platforms for human
welfare, the insect gut system is such a promising arena. Insects, the inhabitant of all …

Lignocellulose is the most abundant biomass on earth. Agricultural, forest, and
agroindustrial activities generate tons of lignocellulosic wastes annually, which present …

Symbiotic interactions between insects and microorganisms are widespread in nature and
are often the source of ecological innovations. In addition to supplementing their host with …

Lignocellulosic residues are low-cost abundant feedstocks that can be used for industrial
applications. However, their recalcitrance currently makes lignocellulose use limited. In …

This study was conducted to investigate the antioxidant effects of hydroxytyrosol (HT)
administration in diquat (DQ)-challenged mice. The results showed that HT treatment …

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 …
