Trypoxylus dichotomus Gut Bacteria Provides an Effective System for Bamboo Lignocellulose Degradation.

ABSTRACT: Fast-growing bamboo may be a source of high-quality cellulose with the potential to contribute to energy sustainability, if an efficient and low-cost solution to bamboo cellulose decomposition can be developed. This study compared the gut microbiomes of rhinoceros beetle (Trypoxylus dichotomus) feeding on bamboo and wood fiber. The results revealed that diet has a distinctive effect on microbial composition in the midgut, including its most abundant microorganisms that in the fermentation and chemoheterotroph pathways. After identifying the 13 efficient bacterial isolates, we constructed a natural bacterial system based on the microbial relative abundance and an artificial bacterial system with equal proportions of each isolate to catabolize bamboo lignocellulose. The isolate Entero
