Abstract
EM of the hindgut showed that actinomycete-like bacteria were the principal microbial associates of 2 African species [Procubitermes aburiensis and Cubitermes severus] of soil-feeding termites. Elongated cuticular spines provided attachment.This publication has 4 references indexed in Scilit:
