Reevaluating Symbiotic Digestion in Cockroaches: Unveiling the Hindgut's Contribution to Digestion in Wood-Feeding Panesthiinae (Blaberidae)

INSECTS, 14(9).

By: M. Schwarz n, G. Tokuda*, H. Osaki n & A. Mikaelyan n

author keywords: wood-feeding; saproxylophagy; cockroaches; Panesthiinae; Blaberidae; Percoll; lignocellulose; xylanase; cellulase; digestion
TL;DR: This study investigated cellulase and xylanase activity in the crop, midgut, and hindgut lumens of Panesthia angustipennis and Salganea taiwanensis to shed light on the remarkable adaptability of wood-feeding insects and provides valuable clues to their evolutionary success on this challenging, nutrient-poor resource.
