Immune-related transcriptome of Coptotermes formosanus Shiraki workers: the defense mechanism. [PDF]

PLoS One, 2013
Formosan subterranean termites, Coptotermes formosanus Shiraki, live socially in microbial-rich habitats. To understand the molecular mechanism by which termites combat pathogenic microbes, a full-length normalized cDNA library and four Suppression Subtractive Hybridization (SSH) libraries were constructed from termite workers infected with ...

Bacteriophages in the Rhizosphere: Roles in Nutrient Cycling, Bacterial Community Structure, and Animal‐Mediated Dispersal

MicrobiologyOpen, Volume 15, Issue 3, June 2026.
This review discusses bacteriophages' roles in soil ecosystems, highlighting their impact on nutrient cycling, plant health, and soil remediation, as well as animal‐mediated phage dispersal mechanisms. Overall, while bacteriophages have potential biotechnological applications, their negative effects on microbial functions and nutrient cycling highlight

Molecular Phylogenetic Diversity of the Bacterial Community in the Gut of the TermiteCoptotermes formosanus [PDF]

Bioscience, Biotechnology, and Biochemistry, 2005
The phylogenetic diversity of the bacterial community in the gut of the termite Coptotermes formosanus was investigated using a 16S rRNA gene clone library constructed by PCR. After screening by restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) analysis, 49 out of 261 clones with unique RFLP patterns were sequenced and phylogenetically analyzed.

Sketching microprotein portraits

Protein Science, Volume 35, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract The illustrations of intricate molecular machineries inside cells created by David Goodsell continue to inspire the scientific community. Here, we aim to extend his artworks to include microproteins, a newly recognized class of small proteins with less than 100 amino acids, encoded by small open reading frames.

Phylogeography of Coptotermes gestroi and Coptotermes formosanus (Isoptera: Rhinotermitidae) in Taiwan [PDF]

Annals of the Entomological Society of America, 2009
Abstract The Formosan subterranean termite, Coptotermes formosanus Shiraki (Isoptera: Rhinotermitidae), is primarily reported from subtropical and warm temperate regions, whereas Coptotermes gestroi (Wasmann) is reported from many areas of the tropics. Taiwan is one of a few areas where the distributions of the two species overlap.

Using Radon (222Rn) to Trace Variability in Greenhouse Gas Emission From Tree Stems Across Species, Seasons and Stem Heights

Ecohydrology, Volume 19, Issue 3, April/May 2026.
ABSTRACT Emissions from trees are an important component of the global methane (CH4) cycle, but their spatial origins (soil vs. in‐stem), transport pathways and environmental influences are not well constrained. To address these issues, this field study characterized spatial and temporal variability in stem emissions of biologically inert radon (222Rn),
