Mining for hemicellulases in the fungus-growing termite pseudacanthotermes militaris using functional metagenomics

HIGHLIGHTS

• who: Biorefinery and collaborators from the Université de ToulouseToulouse, France have published the research work: Mining for hemicellulases in the fungus-growing termite Pseudacanthotermes militaris using functional metagenomics, in the Journal: (JOURNAL)
• what: This study shows that the gut microbiome of P. militaris possesses the potential to degrade biomass components such as arabinoxylans and arabinans. The authors have used functional metagenomics to investigate the gut microbiome of P. militaris, focusing particularly on hemicellulases, such as β-D-endoxylanases (EC 3.2.1.8), xylan 1,4-β-D-xylosidases (EC 3.2.1.37) and α-L-arabinofuranosidase . . .
