New Insights into Microbes in the Midgut of Termite Coptotermes formosanus

Journal of Bioremediation & Biodegradation, 2014
Wood-feeding termites have evolved unique capability to effectively digest lignocellulosic material, using it for both energy and nutrition. This ability depends mainly on the mutualistic interaction between symbiotic gut microbiota and the termite itself. This study investigated microorganisms in the midgut of termite Coptotermes formosanus, a segment
