Formyltetrahydrofolate synthetase gene diversity in the guts of higher termites with different diets and lifestyles.

Applied and environmental microbiology - 1 May 2011

Ottesen Elizabeth A, Leadbetter Jared R

Abstract excerpt

In this study, we examine gene diversity for formyl-tetrahydrofolate synthetase (FTHFS), a key enzyme in homoacetogenesis, recovered from the gut microbiota of six species of higher termites. The "higher" termites (family Termitidae), which represent the majority of extant termite species and genera, engage in a broader diversity of feeding and nesting styles than the "lower" termites. Previous studies of termite...
