| Popis: | Host and symbiont enzymes are involved in lignocellulose processing by termites. A brief description of the structure of the main components of the plant cell wall and the most relevant degrading enzymes is presented. This chapter focuses on the dual cellulolytic system in lower and higher termites and provides an update on the current research strategies through culture-dependent and culture-independent “-omic” approaches. Significance for biofuel production and future perspectives are also discussed. |
