On the roles of AA15 lytic polysaccharide monooxygenases derived from the termite Coptotermes gestroi [PDF]
Journal of Inorganic Biochemistry, 2021 Lytic polysaccharide monooxygenases (LPMOs) are copper-dependent enzymes which catalyze the oxidative cleavage of polysaccharides. LPMOs belonging to family 15 in the Auxiliary Activity (AA) class from the Carbohydrate-Active Enzyme database are found widespread across the Tree of Life, including viruses, algae, oomycetes and animals.

Mating mediates morphophysiological changes in the spermathecae of Coptotermes gestroi queens
Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, 2022 AbstractInsect spermathecae play a crucial role in sperm storage and maintenance prior to egg fertilization. Within eusocial insects, this structure is well studied in the Hymenoptera, whose queens copulate during a short period early in life and store sperm for up to decades.
