The Termite Fungal Cultivar <i>Termitomyces</i> Combines Diverse Enzymes and Oxidative Reactions for Plant Biomass Conversion

Fungus-growing termites have optimized the decomposition of recalcitrant plant biomass to access valuable nutrients by engaging in a tripartite symbiosis with complementary contributions from a fungal mutualist and a codiversified gut microbiome. This complex symbiotic interplay makes them one of t...
