Abstract: Energy shortage has become a global problem, and cellulose is the most abundant and renewable resource in nature. Termites have evolved the unique and efficient cellulose-digesting system, in which there are rich resources of cellulase and its genes. In recent years, the significance of endogenous cellulose-digesting system in termite has been recognized gradually, and the researches on the endogenous cellulase genes have been reported continuously. In order to improve the new control technologies of termite pests and to explore the cellulosic biomass for biofuels, the review provides the information for the cloning and expressions of termite endogenous cellulase genes.

Key words: termite, endogenous cellulase gene, gene cloning
