| bacteroidales ectosymbionts of gut flagellates shape the nitrogen-fixing community in dry-wood termites. | although it is well documented that the lack of nitrogen in the diet of wood-feeding termites is compensated by the nitrogen-fixing capacity of their gut microbiota, the bacteria responsible for this activity are largely unknown. here, we analyzed the diversity and expression of nitrogenase genes (homologs of nifh) in four species of dry-wood termites (kalotermitidae), which thrive on a particularly nitrogen-poor resource. although each species harbored a highly diverse suite of termite-specific ... | 2011 | 22189498 |
