Metagenomic analysis of the microbiota in the highly compartmented hindguts of six wood- or soil-feeding higher termites

BACKGROUND: Termites are important contributors to carbon and nitrogen cycling in tropical ecosystems. Higher termites digest lignocellulose in various stages of humification with the help of an entirely prokaryotic microbiota housed in their compartmented intestinal tract. Previous studies revealed...
