Termites have cellulose-digesting protists in their guts.

Explanation:

Termites are able to access nutrients contained in cellulose due to their mutualistic association with some cellulose-digesting protists such as <em>Trichonympha</em> and M<em>ixotricha</em>. The protists produce cellulase in addition to other glycolytic enzymes that work together to convert cellulose to malate.

The malate produced is further metabolized to produce $CO_2$ , hydrogen, acetate and energy in the form of ATP.
