Termites may provide the biochemical means to a greener biofuel future. The bellies of these tiny beasts harbor a gold mine of microbes that have now been tapped as a rich source of enzymes for improving the conversion of biomass to valuable biofuels. The genomic sequencing and analysis of the termite gut microbes by the US Department of Energy Joint Genome Institute are highlighted in the November 22 edition of the journal Nature. www.jgi.doe.gov video credit: Kory Pedersen - www.kory3d.com Jacob Clark - http Martin Bojanowski - www.bojomartin.com Desiree Johnson - http Scott Kennedy - www.kennedyvfx.com Sam Baker - www.samanimates.com Chryssa Cooke - Voice Over
