An adult passalid burrows its one-inch body through decayed wood that has been pre-processed by fungi, speeding up wood decomposition through its feeding activity and making the wood and carbon accessible for other organisms in the ecosystem. We study them because they are a natural model biorefinery.

The evidence, presented in the journal Science , suggests that the evolution of fungi capable of breaking down the polymer lignin, which helps keep plant cell walls rigid, may have played a key role in ending the development of coal deposits. So the evolution of white rot is a very important event in the evolution of carbon cycle.
