摘要: The large number of symbioses among termite gut flagellates and prokaryotes, the high level integration evidenced by elaborate attachment structures or intracellular location, proportion prokaryotic microbiota that is associated with protozoa suggest a major importance such for hindgut metabolism lower termites.
