Isolation and characterization of some gut microbial symbionts from fungus-cultivating termites (Macrotermes and Odontotermes spp.)
(2016-07)
Microbiota of termites is crucial for nitrogen cycle activities and degradation of recalcitrant components
of plant biomass that influence soil structure and carbon mineralization in tropical and subtropical
regions. The ...
16S-rRNA-based analysis of bacterial diversity in the gut of fungus-cultivating termites (Microtermes and Odontotermes species)
(Springer Netherlands, 2013-08-14)
The interaction between termites and their gut symbionts has continued to attract the curiosity of researchers over time. The aim of this study was to characterize and compare the bacterial diversity and community structure ...
454 Pyrosequencing‑based assessment of bacterial diversity and community structure in termite guts, mounds and surrounding soils
(2015-09)
Termites constitute part of diverse and economically important termite fauna in Africa, but information on gut microbiota and their associated soil microbiome is still inadequate. In this study, we assessed and compared ...

Bacteria and Archaea diversity within the hot springs of Lake Magadi and Little Magadi in Kenya
(BioMed Central, 2016-06)
Background: Lake Magadi and little Magadi are hypersaline, alkaline lakes situated in the southern part of Kenyan
Rift Valley. Solutes are supplied mainly by a series of alkaline hot springs with temperatures as high as ...
