Summary of potential lignase (L), detoxification (D), and antioxidant (A) coding genes identified from the termite gut library. No homologous or functionally similar genes were identified from the symbiont library. Black bars indicate gene families investigated in later functional studies (see Figures 6-8). See Additional file 6 for gene by gene summaries and Additional file 7 for Genbank accession numbers.
