Termites are well recognized by their complex development trajectories, involving dynamic differentiation process between non-reproductive castes, workers and soldiers. These insects associated with endosymbiotic microorganisms, which help in lignocellulose digestion nitrogen metabolism. Aiming to identify genes harbouring biotechnological potential, we analyzed soldiers RNA-Seq data of three neotropical termites: Heterotermes tenuis (Isoptera: Rhinotermitidae), Velocitermes heteropterus...
Xylanases are hemicellulases that break down xylan to soluble pentoses. They used for industrial purposes, such as paper whitening, beverage clarification, and biofuel production. The second-generation bioethanol production is hindered by the enzymatic hydrolysis step of lignocellulosic biomass, due complex arrangement established among its constituents. can potentially increase yield improving action cellulolytic enzyme complex. We prospected endo-β-1,4-xylanases from meta-transcriptomes...
