Phylogenetic diversity of nitrogen fixation genes in the symbiotic microbial community in the gut of diverse termites.

Applied and environmental microbiology - 1 Nov 1999

Ohkuma M, Noda S, Kudo T

Abstract excerpt

Nitrogen fixation by the microorganisms in the gut of termites is one of the crucial aspects of symbiosis, since termites usually thrive on a nitrogen-poor diet. The phylogenetic diversity of the nitrogen-fixing organisms within the symbiotic community in the guts of various termite species was investigated without culturing the resident microorganisms. A portion of the dinitrogenase reductase gene (nifH) was...
