GC/TOF-MS-Based Metabolomics Reveals Altered Metabolic Profiles in Wood-Feeding Termite <i>Coptotermes formosanus</i> Shiraki Digesting the Weed <i>Mikania micrantha</i> Kunth

Effective approaches to exploiting the biomass of the abundant invasive weed <i>Mikania micrantha</i> Kunth are limited. Termites have been a focus of significant attention as mediators of biomass-processing owing to their ability to digest lignocellulose. Here, the GC/TOF-MS approach wa...
