i5K Comments for Limnoria quadripunctata
This is an animal without gut resident microorganisms and a remarkable digestive gland transcriptome, which is rich in glycosyl hydrolase enzymes (King et al 2010 PNAS 107: 5345-5350). The animal is capable of digesting wood and other lignocellulosic substrates. Its digestive capabilities are of interest for generation of second generation biofuels which use lignocellulosic waste (rather than crops that compete for land with food crops) as feedstock. It is also of interest as an example of a marine detritivore that processes the more refractory forms of plant detritus that contribute to the huge pool of dissolved organic carbon in the sea.
