Phylogenetic diversity of nitrogen fixation genes in the symbiotic microbial community in the gut of diverse termites
Article Abstract:
Research conducted on the amplification and characterization of the dinitrogenase reductase gene compares nitrogen-fixing microorganism constituents in termite guts. Phylogenetic analysis demonstrates diversity within the diazotrophic populations in the termite gastrointestinal system.
