Dietary resilience of termite gut microbiota and enzymatic function reflects feeding strategy by Letícia R. Menezes, João Paulo L. F. Cairo, Ana Maria Costa-Leonardo, Maria Teresa Pedrosa Silva Clerici, Isabela da Costa Barreto, Bianca Suriano Francisco dos Santos, Alberto Arab

“…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, especially among neotropical species.MethodsWe evaluated microbiota composition and enzymatic function in two higher termite species with contrasting feeding strategies: the polyphagous Silvestritermes euamignathus and the litter-feeding specialist Cornitermes cumulans. …”
