| termite diversity in urban landscape, south jakarta, indonesia. | the population of south jakarta, a city within the province of jakarta capital region, is increasing annually, and the development of land into building causes termite diversity loss. the aim of this research was to determine the diversity of subterranean termite species and their distribution in south jakarta and to evaluate the soil profile termite habitat. this study was conducted in south jakarta and was carried out at four residential areas representing four randomly selected sub-districts. ... | 2016 | 27164147 |
| preferential use of carbon sources in culturable aerobic mesophilic bacteria of coptotermes curvignathus's (isoptera: rhinotermitidae) gut and its foraging area. | the lower termite, coptotermes curvignathus, is one of the most prominent plantation pests that feed upon, digest, and receive nourishment from exclusive lignocellulose diets. the objective of this study was to examine the utilization of sole carbon sources by isolated culturable aerobic bacteria among communities from the gut and foraging pathway of c. curvignathus. we study the bacteria occurrence from the gut of c. curvignathus and its surrounding feeding area by comparing the obtained phenot ... | 2015 | 26314017 |
| chemical composition, antifeedant, repellent, and toxicity activities of the rhizomes of galangal, alpinia galanga against asian subterranean termites, coptotermes gestroi and coptotermes curvignathus (isoptera: rhinotermitidae). | dual choice bioassays were used to evaluate the antifeedant property of essential oil and methanolic extract of alpinia galanga (l.) (locally known as lengkuas) against two species of termites, coptotermes gestroi (wasmann) and coptotermes curvignathus (holmgren) (isoptera: rhinotermitidae). a 4-cm-diameter paper disc treated with a. galanga essential oil and another treated with either methanol or hexane as control were placed in a petri dish with 10 termites. mean consumption of paper discs (m ... | 2015 | 25688085 |
| response of coptotermes curvignathus (isoptera: rhinotermitidae) to formaldehyde catcher-treated particleboard. | the objective of this study is to investigate the feasibility of formaldehyde catcher as termites repellent. single-layered uf-bonded particleboard was post-treated with formaldehyde catcher and heat respectively. besides that, some boards were also produced with the formaldehyde catcher was added into the resin during the blending process, called add-in method. particleboard post-treated with formaldehyde catcher reported the most severe attack. heat-treated particleboard showed slightly better ... | 2013 | 24511759 |
| bacterial microbiome of coptotermes curvignathus (isoptera: rhinotermitidae) reflects the coevolution of species and dietary pattern. | coptotermes curvignathus holmgren is capable of feeding on living trees. this ability is attributed to their effective digestive system that is furnished by the termite's own cellulolytic enzymes and cooperative enzymes produced by their gut microbes. in this study, the identity of an array of diverse microbes residing in the gut of c. curvignathus was revealed by sequencing the near-full-length 16s rrna genes. a total of 154 bacterial phylotypes were found. the bacteroidetes was the most abunda ... | 2014 | 24123989 |
