Impact of oxygen on metabolic fluxes and in situ rates of reductive acetogenesis in the hindgut of the wood-feeding termite Reticulitermes flavipes

The symbiotic digestion of lignocellulose in the hindgut of the wood‐feeding termite Reticulitermes flavipes is characterized by two major metabolic pathways: (i) the oxidation of polysaccharides to acetate by anaerobic hydrogen‐producing protozoa; and (ii) the reduction of CO2 by hydrogenotrophic a...
