| deinococcus reticulitermitis sp. nov., isolated from a termite gut. | bacterial strain tm-1t was isolated from the gut of a wood-feeding termite, reticulitermes chinensis snyder. cells of the strain tm-1t were gram-negative, spherical (1.0-2.0 µm in diameter), non-motile, non-sporulating with red-pigmented color. strain tm-1t was found to be resistant to uv radiation, showing 34 % survival after exposure to uv light at a dose of 100 j m-2. growth occurred at 20-40°c (optimum, 30°c) and ph 6.0-10.0 (optimum, ph 6.0-7.0), and in the presence of 0-1% (w/v) nacl (opti ... | 2011 | 21335505 |
| experimental verification and molecular basis of active immunization against fungal pathogens in termites. | termites are constantly exposed to many pathogens when they nest and forage in the field, so they employ various immune strategies to defend against pathogenic infections. here, we demonstrate that the subterranean termite reticulitermes chinensis employs active immunization to defend against the entomopathogen metarhizium anisopliae. our results showed that allogrooming frequency increased significantly between fungus-treated termites and their nestmates. through active social contact, previous ... | 2015 | 26458743 |
| gryllotalpicola reticulitermitis sp. nov., isolated from a termite gut. | strain ts-56(t) was isolated from the gut of a wood-feeding termite, reticulitermes chinensis snyder. phylogenetic analyses based on 16s rrna gene sequences revealed that the strain represented a member of the genus gryllotalpicola of the family microbacteriaceae, with sequence similarities to other species of the genus ranging from 96.6 % to 97.8 %. the isolate was gram-stain-positive, non-motile, with light yellow colonies and irregular short rod-shaped cells (0.4-0.6 µm in diameter, 0.6-1.0 µ ... | 2015 | 25281726 |
