Fungus-growing termites are among the most successful herbivorous animals and improve crop productivity and soil fertility.A range of symbiotic organisms can be found inside their nests.However,interactions of termites with these symbionts are poorly understood.This review provides detailed information on the role of multipartite sym-bioses (between termitophiles,termites,fungi,and bacteria) in fungus-growing termites for lignocellulose degradation.The specific functions of each component in the symbiotic system are also discussed.Based on previous studies,we argue that the enzymatic contri-bution from the host,fungus,and bacteria greatly facilitates the decomposition of com-plex polysaccharide plant materials.The host-termitophile interaction protects the termite nest from natural enemies and maintains the stability of the microenvironment inside the colony.
