Bacterial community profiling and identification of bacteria with lignin-degrading potential in different gut segments of African palm weevil larvae (Rhynchophorus phoenicis) by Jessica Lenka, Jessica Lenka, Enrique González-Tortuero, Shweta Kuba, Natalie Ferry

“…In this study, we aimed to explore the bacterial community within the gut of the APW larvae, specifically with respect to the potential for lignin degradation in various gut segments as a first step to determining the viability of mining bacterial lignin-degrading enzymes for the bioconversion of lignocellulosic biomass to biofuels and biomaterials. Bacterial metagenomic DNA was extracted from the foregut, midgut, and hindgut of larvae of the APW, and the V3–V4 hypervariable region of the 16S rRNA gene was sequenced using the Illumina MiSeq platform. …”
