Metabolomic profiling of (13)C-labelled cellulose digestion in a lower termite: insights into gut symbiont function

Termites consume an estimated 3–7 billion tonnes of lignocellulose annually, a role in nature which is unique for a single order of invertebrates. Their food is digested with the help of microbial symbionts, a relationship that has been recognized for 200 years and actively researched for at least a...
