| Comments |
"Krasil'nikov and Satdykov
(primary source) used relatively nonselective media to
quantitate bacteria present in guts of Anacanthotermes
ahngerianus and A. turkestancius.
They found 1.3x10^6 to 4.3x10^9 viable cells per
hindgut, depending on the developmental stage
or caste of termite examined." |
