Evidence for cascades of perturbation and adaptation in the metabolic genes of higher termite gut symbionts.

mBio - 1 Jan 2012

Zhang Xinning, Leadbetter Jared R

Abstract excerpt

UNLABELLED: Termites and their gut microbes engage in fascinating dietary mutualisms. Less is known about how these complex symbioses have evolved after first emerging in an insect ancestor over 120 million years ago. Here we examined a bacterial gene, formate dehydrogenase (fdhF), that is key to the mutualism in 8 species of "higher" termite (members of the Termitidae, the youngest and most biomass-abundant and...
