Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this study, we examined differences in gut microbiota, gut metabolites, and gut protist metabolites in two populations of wood-feeding cockroaches, Cryptocercus punctulatus and C. kyebangensis, geographically isolated in North America and Asia, respectively. The results showed clear differences in the amount of metabolites in the hindgut between these populations. While the study was interrupted by the COVID pandemic, we examined the relationship between changes in gut microbiota and metabolite levels using local termites. We found that only certain gut microbes were highly dependent on the wood consumed by the termites.
