Metagenomic profiling reveals lignocellulose degrading system in a microbial community associated with a wood-feeding beetle.

Metagenomic profiling reveals lignocellulose degrading system in a microbial community associated with a wood-feeding beetle.

The Asian longhorned beetle (Anoplophoraglabripennis) is an invasive, wood-boring pest that thrives in the heartwood of deciduous tree species. A large impediment faced by A. glabripennis as it feeds on woody tissue is lignin, a highly recalcitrant biopolymer that reduces access to sugars and other...
