Abstract Background The microbial community in the gut of termites is responsible for the efficient decomposition of recalcitrant lignocellulose. Prominent features of this community are its...
Molecular Phylogeny of Three Oxymonad Genera: Pyrsonympha, Dinenympha and Oxymonas (2003)

The crystal structure of a ternary complex of meso-2,3-butanediol dehydrogenase with NAD+ and a competitive inhibitor, mercaptoethanol, has been determined at 1.7 � resolution by means of molecular...
Oxymonads Are Closely Related to the Excavate Taxon Trimastix (2001)
Dacks, Joel B., Silberman, Jeffrey D., Simpson, Alastair G. B., Moriya, Shigeharu, Kudo, Toshiaki, Ohkuma, Moriya, ...
Despite intensive study in recent years, large-scale eukaryote phylogeny remains poorly resolved. This is particularly problematic among the groups considered to be potential early branches. In many...

Nitrogen fixation by the microorganisms in the gut of termites is one of the crucial aspects of symbiosis, since termites usually thrive on a nitrogen-poor diet. The phylogenetic diversity of the...

The flagellate Caduceia versatilis in the gut of the termite Cryptotermes cavifrons reportedly propels itself not by its own flagella but solely by the flagella of ectosymbiotic bacteria. Previous...
Complete genome of the uncultured Termite Group 1 bacteria in a single host protist cell
