Answer:
These tiny unicellular organisms reside in hind gut of termite and secrete an enzyme called cellulase . This enzyme is capable to hydrolyze the β -linkages of cellulose and form short chain fatty acids. Thus endosymbiont bacteria and protozoans help termite to fulfill its nutrition requirement and also make them quite immune to pathogen attack.
