Dietary resilience of termite gut microbiota and enzymatic function reflects feeding strategy

Dietary resilience of termite gut microbiota and enzymatic function reflects feeding strategy

IntroductionTermites rely on complex gut microbiomes to digest lignocellulosic substrates, with dietary specialization potentially shaping microbial diversity and function. However, how gut microbiota respond to dietary shifts in generalist versus specialist termites remains poorly understood, espec...
