Abstract
Odontotermes formosanus termites are recognized as one of the major
ecosystem engineers in tropical soils. This termite depends on intestinal
microorganisms for cellulose digestion. Nine bacterial isolates from termite
gut were identified using sugar fermentation and biochemical tests and
confirmed by 16S rRNA gene sequencing.
