The relationship between oxidant levels and gut physiology in a litter-feeding termite

The termite gut is an efficient decomposer of polyphenol-rich diets, such as lignocellulosic biomasses, and it has been proposed that non-enzymatic oxidative mechanisms could be involved with the digestive process in these animals. However, oxidant levels are completely unknown in termites, as well...
