Trabulsiella guamensis GTC1379
Pseudomonadota |
TermitidaeIndia |
Bacteria
|
Extracellular
|
The ability of these arthropods to feed on wood, foliage, and detritus is likely to involve catalysis by different types of cellulases/hemicellulases that are secreted by the gut microbiota, including Trabulsiella guamensis GTC1379, to digest structural and recalcitrant lignocellulosic residues in their foods. |
