Abstract
Termites, as ecologists, have a central
function in lignocellulosic biomass breakdown, nutrient recycling, and soil
consolidation. Their guts, symbiotic microflora, and their surrounding mound
soils offer a rich source of enzymes, specifically cellulase, ligninase and
xylanase having extensive biotechnological potential. This article brings to
light new developments in the bioprospecting of Termites and mound soils for
enzymic potential, investigating their microbial diversity, ability to produce
enzymes, as well as their industrial application in biofuel, waste treatment,
agriculture, and pharmaceuticals.
