Reevaluating Symbiotic Digestion in Cockroaches: Unveiling the Hindgut's Contribution to Digestion in Wood-Feeding Panesthiinae (Blaberidae)
INSECTS, 14(9).
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.

2023 journal article
Wood fibers are a crucial microhabitat for cellulose- and xylan- degrading bacteria in the hindgut of the wood-feeding beetle Odontotaenius disjunctus
FRONTIERS IN MICROBIOLOGY, 14.
author keywords: beetles; Passalidae; lignocellulose; symbiotic digestion; gut microbiomes
TL;DR:
This study investigated the bacterial communities specifically associated with wood fibers in the gut of the passalid beetle Odontotaenius disjunctus and demonstrated that the anterior hindgut, which houses a majority of the bacterial load, is an important site for lignocellulose digestion.
