Enzyme Activities at Different Stages of Plant Biomass Decomposition in Three Species of Fungus-Growing Termites.

There was a highly significant decrease in the amount of cellulose content from forage material to the old worker termite guts, suggesting that Termitomyces spp. use cellulose as one of their main nutrient sources, and the transcriptome analysis showed the expression of a host of cellulose- and hemicellulose-degrading enzymes.
