Clostridium mayombei sp. nov., an H2/CO2 acetogenic bacterium from the gut of the African soil-feeding termite, Cubitermes speciosus
TL;DR: Results are discussed in light of the diversity of H 2/CO2 acetogens recently isolated from various termites, and in terms of the relative importance of H2/ CO2 acetogenesis to termite nutrition.
Dynamics of bacterial communities in relation to soil aggregate formation during the decomposition of 13C-labelled rice straw
TL;DR: Bacterial community structure changed rapidly (within 2 days) in conjunction with the formation of new microbial habitats, suggesting that the relationship between the two is very close.
Nitrous Oxide (N2O) Emissions by Termites: Does the Feeding Guild Matter?
Alain Brauman,Muhammad Zeeshan Majeed,Bruno Buatois,Alain Robert,Anne-Laure Pablo,Edouard Miambi +5 more
TL;DR: The hypothesis that N2O production rates were higher in termites feeding on substrates with higher N content, such as soil and fungi, compared to those feeding on N-poor wood is supported.
Litterfall, litter decomposition, soil macrofauna, and nutrient contents in rubber monoculture and rubber-based agroforestry plantations

TL;DR: In this article, a comparison of the litterfall, litter decomposition, soil macrofauna, and nutrient contents in rubber monoculture and rubber-based agroforestry plantations was made.
Effect of gut transit and mound deposit on soil organic matter transformations in the soil feeding termite: a review.
TL;DR: These shifts of the organic matter into long turnover pool generated by the termite gut transit and deposition in the termitosphere indicate that besides the earthworm, the soil feeding termite has a positive impact on the overall organic matter cycling in the tropics.
