Metagenomics analysis of bacterial community structure from wood- and soil-feeding termites: metabolic pathways and functional structures toward the degradation of lignocellulose and recalcitrant compounds

Some essential information on gut bacterial profiles and their unique contributions to food digestion in wood-feeding termites (WFT) and soil-feeding termites (SFT) is still inadequate. The feeding type of termites is hypothesized to influence their gut bacterial composition and its functionality in...
