High-fidelity long-read metagenomics reveals the metabolic functions of dominant termite gut bacteria

Many termites digest lignocellulosic wood using diverse gut microbiota, yet functions are rarely linked to specific symbionts because complete genomes are scarce. We used PacBio HiFi long reads to reconstruct circular single-contig bacterial metagenome-assembled genomes (MAGs) from the gut microbiota of the wood-feedin...
