- how do flagellates get into termites? ... They regurgitate food to each other and the regurgitated food contains the flagellates that digest the cellulose. Termites have to get 'recharged' with digestive flagellates every time they molt (shed their skins and grow) because their hind guts (where the flagellates live) get...

In a previous study, we had demonstrated that the ‘Endomicrobia’ clones retrieved from Reticulitermes santonensis represent intracellular symbionts of the two major gut flagellates of this termite. Here, we document that ‘Endomicrobia’ are present also in many other gut flagellates of lower termites.

Those defaunated termites fed flagellates from untreated Zooterrnopsis did not become infected with any species of Trichonympha (Table 1). The number of T. termopsidis per gut after 1 year was inversely proportional to the number of different flagellate species present in the gut: there were 23 times more T.

In lower termites, H2 formation is mainly attributed to the dense populations of cellulolytic flagellates which are characteristic for this group. In higher termites, symbiotic flagellates are absent, and the reactions responsible for the formation of H2 are not known.
