Dietary Resilience of Termite Gut Microbiota and Enzymatic Function Reflects Feeding Strategy

Letícia R. Menezes, João Paulo L. Franco Cairo, Ana Maria Costa–Leonardo, María Teresa Pedrosa Silva Clerici, Isabela da Costa Barreto, Bianca Suriano Francisco dos Santos, Alberto Arab

This study compares the gut microbiota and enzymatic responses of two termite species to dietary shifts, finding that a polyphagous species maintains stable microbial communities and enzymatic profiles, while a specialist shows reduced enzymatic activity and transcriptional suppression under altered diets.
