About

Gaku Tokuda is a Professor at the University of the Ryukyus in Japan. His research focuses on termite microbiota, symbiotic relationships in insects, and the genomic analysis of various species, including cockroaches and nudibranchs. Recent articles authored by Professor Tokuda explore topics such as carbohydrate-active enzymes in roaches, lignocellulolytic potential in termite guts, and taxonomic revisions of Termitomyces . His work aims to understand the evolutionary dynamics and metabolic pathways within insect-bacteria symbioses.
