Termites and cows rely on symbiotic microorganisms that produce the enzyme cellulase, which breaks down cellulose, the primary component of plant cell walls found in wood and grass. In termites, cellulase is produced by protozoa and bacteria in their gut, enabling them to digest cellulose in wood. In cows, the rumen is home to a diverse microbiome that includes bacteria capable of producing cellulase, allowing them to efficiently break down the cellulose in grass. This symbiotic relationship is essential for both organisms to extract nutrients from their fibrous diets.
