• Visual Science - How Termites Live on a Diet of Wood - NYTimes.com: "Wood is indeed convertible to useful chemicals, because termites do it every day, causing $1 billion of damage every year in the United States. But to live on a diet of wood is challenging, not least because wood contains so little nitrogen. So how do termites do it? [...] The trick lies in a cunning triple symbiosis, a team of Japanese scientists report in Friday?s issue of Science. In the termites? gut lives an amoeba-like microbe called a protist, and inside each protist live some 10,000 members of an obscure bacterium. [...] The overall process whereby this troika of species makes a meal of wood is shown in the graphic at left: the termite chews the wood into particles that are absorbed by the amoeba. The amoeba breaks down the cellulose of the wood and gets the nitrogen it needs from its bacteria. The net result is that the two microbes digest wood into sugars and other nutrients of use to the termite."
