Invertebrate-Microbial Interactions : Ingested Fungal Enzymes in Arthropod Biology /
Arthropods that eat wood, foliage, and detritus have difficulty in digesting the cellulose in their food. A remarkable biological mechanism allows some species to overcome this problem: in eating fungal tissue they ingest cellulolytic enzymes that allow them to exploit the potential nutritive value...
