Abstract :

The termites have special ability to use different types of bacteria from their gut to break down plant components. The techniques for extraction and identification of bacteria that break down cellulose in termite stomachs, are discussed in this study. Certain bacteria, including Pseudomonas and Klebsiella are known to produce cellulases, which are essential for breaking down cellulosic materials into sugars in order to produce biofuel. The potential of termite gut bacteria in biotechnology and sustainable fuel sources is highlighted.
