Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the intestinal bacteria of longhorn beetles, focusing on their diversity and community structure, specifically looking for bacteria that can degrade cellulose from their host, kapok trees.
- A total of 563,201 valid sequences were analyzed, revealing high bacterial diversity, with Proteobacteria as the dominant phyla and several genera identified, including nine with cellulose-degrading capabilities.
- Five strains of cellulose-degrading bacteria were isolated, with one strain showing high cellulase activity, suggesting these bacteria could be targeted for pest control and resource exploitation in agricultural settings.
