• Assessment of microbial communities associated with the gut and feeding substrate of three xylophagous coleopteran families with emphasis on cellulose-degrading bacteria 

      Zúñiga Chaves, Ibrahim (2019-11)
      The current energy crisis and depletion of fossil fuel reserves has encouraged research for new alternatives. Degradation of plant material by enzymatic reactions represents an important strategy to obtain affordable and ...
