Study shows uncovers how beetle gut microbes serve as reactor for fuel production

Green Car Congress

This wood passes through the beetle’s complex digestive tract and is finally excreted as its waste product, politely termed frass. In the midgut (MG), plant polymers are changed into simpler components, which are then fermented in the anterior hindgut (AHG), where nitrogen is fixed and methane and hydrogen produced.
