Isolation and characterization of actinobacteria from Lake Magadi, Kenya
(Academic Journals, 2013-08-09)
Actinobacteria are ubiquitous and have been detected in terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems. Although, various studies have focused on the ecology of this phylum, data on the ecology of actinobacteria endemic to soda lakes ...
Diversity of Termitomyces Associated with Fungus- Farming Termites Assessed by Cultural and Culture- Independent Methods
(2013)
Background: Fungus-cultivating termites make use of an obligate mutualism with fungi from the genus Termitomyces, which are acquired through either vertical transmission via reproductive alates or horizontally transmitted ...
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 ...
