Can 13C stable isotope analysis uncover essential amino acid provisioning by termite-associated gut microbes?
Gut-associated microbes of insects are postulated to provide a variety of nutritional functions including provisioning essential amino acids (EAAs). Demonstrations of EAA provisioning in insect-gut microbial systems, nonetheless, are scant. In this study, we investigated whether the eastern subterra...
