DOI: 10.1002/arch.21766
Abstract: Among termites, lower termites need symbiotic microorganisms in the digestive tract for digestion and cellulose metabolism. In this symbiotic relationship, the decomposition of cellulose is initiated by endoglucanase in termite salivary glands and completed by… read more here.

Hemocyte Morphology and Cellular Immune Response in Termite (Reticulitermes speratus)
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2018 at "Journal of Insect Science"
DOI: 10.1093/jisesa/iey039
Abstract: Abstract Because termites (Reticulitermes speratus) are very small, it is difficult to conduct experiments involving pathogen injection and hemocyte collection. Therefore, to observe hemocyte-mediated immune responses against foreign substances, in vitro hemocyte culture is essential.… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/mec.16309
Abstract: The hindgut of lower termites is generally coinhabited by multiple morphologically identifiable protist species. However, it is unclear how many protist species truly coexist in this miniaturized environment, and moreover, it is difficult to define… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/f14051000
Abstract: Subterranean termites of the species Reticulitermes speratus kyushuensis Morimoto (Isoptera: Rhinotermitidae) are notoriously destructive soil-dwelling pests that feed on the cellulosic wood biomass. This leads to tremendous losses of forest trees such as Pinus densiflora… read more here.
