<it>In situ </it>lignocellulosic unlocking mechanism for carbohydrate hydrolysis in termites: crucial lignin modification

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Termites are highly effective at degrading lignocelluloses, and thus can be used as a model for studying plant cell-wall degradation in biological systems. However, the process of lignin deconstruction and/or degradation in termites...
