Isolation and Characterization of P450 Gene from the Formosan Subterranean Termite, Coptotermes formosanus (Isoptera: Rhinotermitidae)
A cytochrome P450 gene belonging to family9 was isolated from the midgut transcriptome of the termite Coptotermes formosanus Shiraki, for screening enzymes related to biomass degeneration. Some studies show that insect P450 enzymes have ligninase activities for catalyzing lignin degradation. We emp...
