BBSRC | Meet the #Gribble: Nature's Own Wood-Digesting Machine @bbsrcmedia | Uploaded November 2012 | Updated October 2024, 1 hour ago.
Have you ever heard of the #gribble? This small creature is unique because it can digest wood all on its own, without the help of #gutmicrobes like other wood-eating organisms.

That's why scientists are fascinated by the gribble and are studying its ability to break down wood and woody materials for more efficient #biofuel production.

Join us to learn more about this amazing little critter and its potential role in the future of #sustainableenergy.
