Measurement of oxygen partial pressure, its control during hypoxia and hyperoxia, and its effect upon light emission in a bioluminescent elaterid larva. (1/282)
This study investigates the respiratory physiology of bioluminescent larvae of Pyrearinus termitilluminans in relation to their tolerance to hypoxia and hyperoxia and to the supply of oxygen for bioluminescence. The partial pressure of oxygen (P(O2)) was measured within the bioluminescent prothorax by in vivo electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) oximetry following acclimation of larvae to hypoxic, normoxic and hyperoxic (normobaric) atmospheres and during periods of bioluminescence (during normoxia). The P(O2) in the prothorax during exposure to an external P(O2) of 15.2, 160 and 760 mmHg was 10.3+/-2.6, 134+/-0.9 and 725+/-73 mmHg respectively (mean +/- s.d., N=5; 1 mmHg=0.1333 kPa). Oxygen supply to the larvae via gas exchange through the spiracles, measured by determining the rate of water loss, was also studied in the above atmospheres and was found not to be dependent upon P(O2). The data indicated that there is little to no active control of extracellular tissue P(O2) within the prothorax of these larvae. The reduction in prothorax P(O2) observed during either attack-response-provoked bioluminescence or sustained feeding-related bioluminescence in a normoxic atmosphere was variable, but fell within the range 10-25 mmHg. The effect of hypoxic atmospheres on bioluminescence was measured to estimate the intracellular P(O2) within the photocytes of the prothorax. Above a threshold value of 50-80 mmHg, bioluminescence was unaffected by P(O2). Below this threshold, an approximately linear relationship between P(O2) and bioluminescence was observed. Taken together with the extracellular P(O2) measurements, this suggests that control of P(O2) within the photocyte may occur. This work establishes that EPR oximetry is a valuable technique for long-term measurement of tissue P(O2) in insects and can provide valuable insights into their respiratory physiology. It also raises questions regarding the hypothesis that bioluminescence can have a significant antioxidative effect by reduction of prothorax P(O2 )through oxygen consumption. (+info)Hydrogen profiles and localization of methanogenic activities in the highly compartmentalized hindgut of soil-feeding higher termites (Cubitermes spp.). (2/282)
It has been shown that the coexistence of methanogenesis and reductive acetogenesis in the hindgut of the wood-feeding termite Reticulitermes flavipes is based largely on the radial distribution of the respective microbial populations and relatively high hydrogen partial pressures in the gut lumen. Using Clark-type microelectrodes, we showed that the situation in Cubitermes orthognathus and other soil-feeding members of the subfamily Termitinae is different and much more complex. All major compartments of agarose-embedded hindguts were anoxic at the gut center, and high H(2) partial pressures (1 to 10 kPa) in the alkaline anterior region rendered the mixed segment and the third proctodeal segment (P3) significant sources of H(2). Posterior to the P3 segment, however, H(2) concentrations were generally below the detection limit (<100 Pa). All hindgut compartments turned into efficient hydrogen sinks when external H(2) was supplied, but methane was formed mainly in the P3/4a and P4b compartments, and in the latter only when H(2) or formate was added. Addition of H(2) to the gas headspace stimulated CH(4) emission of living termites, indicating that endogenous H(2) production limits methanogenesis also in vivo. At the low H(2) partial pressures in the posterior hindgut, methanogens would most likely outcompete homoacetogens for this electron donor. This might explain the apparent predominance of methanogenesis over reductive acetogenesis in the hindgut of soil-feeding termites, although the presence of homoacetogens in the anterior, highly alkaline region cannot yet be excluded. In addition, the direct contact of anterior and posterior hindgut compartments in situ permits a cross-epithelial transfer of H(2) or formate, which would not only fuel methanogenesis in these compartments, but would also create favorable microniches for reductive acetogenesis. In situ rates and spatial distribution of H(2)-dependent acetogenic activities are addressed in a companion paper (A. Tholen and A. Brune, Appl. Environ. Microbiol. 65:4497-4505, 1999). (+info)Localization and in situ activities of homoacetogenic bacteria in the highly compartmentalized hindgut of soil-feeding higher termites (Cubitermes spp.). (3/282)
Methanogenesis and homoacetogenesis occur simultaneously in the hindguts of almost all termites, but the reasons for the apparent predominance of methanogenesis over homoacetogenesis in the hindgut of the humivorous species is not known. We found that in gut homogenates of soil-feeding Cubitermes spp., methanogens outcompete homoacetogens for endogenous reductant. The rates of methanogenesis were always significantly higher than those of reductive acetogenesis, whereas the stimulation of acetogenesis by the addition of exogenous H(2) or formate was more pronounced than that of methanogenesis. In a companion paper, we reported that the anterior gut regions of Cubitermes spp. accumulated hydrogen to high partial pressures, whereas H(2) was always below the detection limit (<100 Pa) in the posterior hindgut, and that all hindgut compartments turned into efficient H(2) sinks when external H(2) was provided (D. Schmitt-Wagner and A. Brune, Appl. Environ. Microbiol. 65:4490-4496, 1999). Using a microinjection technique, we found that only the posterior gut sections P3/4a and P4b, which harbored methanogenic activities, formed labeled acetate from H(14)CO(3)(-). Enumeration of methanogenic and homoacetogenic populations in the different gut sections confirmed the coexistence of both metabolic groups in the same compartments. However, the in situ rates of acetogenesis were strongly hydrogen limited; in the P4b section, no activity was detected unless external H(2) was added. Endogenous rates of reductive acetogenesis in isolated guts were about 10-fold lower than the in vivo rates of methanogenesis, but were almost equal when exogenous H(2) was supplied. We conclude that the homoacetogenic populations in the posterior hindgut are supported by either substrates other than H(2) or by a cross-epithelial H(2) transfer from the anterior gut regions, which may create microniches favorable for H(2)-dependent acetogenesis.

Endogenous endo-beta-1,4-glucanase (EGase, EC 3.2.1.4) cDNAs were cloned from representatives of the termite families Termitidae and Rhinotermitidae. These EGases are all composed of 448 amino acids and belong to glycosyl hydrolase family 9 (GHF9), sharing high levels of identity (40-52%) with selected bacterial, mycetozoan and plant EGases. Like most plant EGases, they consist of a single catalytic domain, lacking the ancillary domains found in most microbial cellulases. Using a PCR-based strategy, the entire sequence of the coding region of NtEG, a gene putatively encoding an EGase from Nasutitermes takasagoensis (Termitidae), was determined. NtEG consists of 10 exons interrupted by 9 introns and contains typical eukaryotic promoter elements. Genomic fragments of EGase genes from Reticulitermes speratus (Rhinotermitidae) were also sequenced. In situ hybridization of N. takasagoensis guts with an antisense NtEG RNA probe demonstrated that expression occurs in the midgut, which contrasts to EGase expression being detected only in the salivary glands of R. speratus. NtEG, when expressed in Escherichia coli, was shown to have in vitro activity against carboxymethylcellulose. (+info)Phylogenetic diversity of nitrogen fixation genes in the symbiotic microbial community in the gut of diverse termites. (5/282)
Nitrogen fixation by the microorganisms in the gut of termites is one of the crucial aspects of symbiosis, since termites usually thrive on a nitrogen-poor diet. The phylogenetic diversity of the nitrogen-fixing organisms within the symbiotic community in the guts of various termite species was investigated without culturing the resident microorganisms. A portion of the dinitrogenase reductase gene (nifH) was directly amplified from DNA extracted from the mixed population in the termite gut. Analysis of deduced amino acid sequences of the products of the clonally isolated nifH genes revealed the presence of diverse nifH sequences in most of the individual termite species, and their constituents were considerably different among termite species. A majority of the nifH sequences from six lower termites, which showed significant levels of nitrogen fixation activity, could be assigned to either the anaerobic nif group (consisting of clostridia and sulfur reducers) or the alternative nif methanogen group among the nifH phylogenetic groups. In the case of three higher termites, which showed only low levels of nitrogen fixation activity, a large number of the sequences were assigned to the most divergent nif group, probably functioning in some process other than nitrogen fixation and being derived from methanogenic archaea. The nifH groups detected were similar within each termite family but different among the termite families, suggesting an evolutionary trend reflecting the diazotrophic habitats in the symbiotic community. Within these phylogenetic groups, the sequences from the termites formed lineages distinct from those previously recognized in studies using classical microbiological techniques, and several sequence clusters unique to termites were found. The results indicate the presence of diverse potentially nitrogen-fixing microbial assemblages in the guts of termites, and the majority of them are as yet uncharacterized. (+info)Culture-independent characterization of a gene responsible for nitrogen fixation in the symbiotic microbial community in the gut of the termite Neotermes koshunensis. (6/282)
Expression of the nitrogen fixation gene, nifH, in the gut of the termite Neotermes koshunensis was characterized without cultivation. nifH cDNA was directly amplified from mRNA of the mixed microbial population in the gut by reverse transcription (RT)-PCR. Analyses of the RT-PCR products revealed that, among the diverse nifH sequences, only a few corresponding to an alternative nitrogenase (encoded by the anf gene) were preferentially transcribed in the termite gut. Expression of the anf gene was further investigated quantitatively under several termite feeding conditions by competitive PCR. The levels of expression of the anf gene were largely congruent with the nitrogen fixation activity displayed by the termite. The amounts of the genomic anf gene in the population showed no significant change, indicating that the level of expression was critical for nitrogen fixation activity. Interestingly, no significant decrease in the expression level was observed when the diet contained molybdenum (Mo), which represses ordinary anf genes. A 3.6-kb DNA region downstream of the anf gene was isolated and found to contain reading frames homologous to anfH, anfD, and anfG of the Bacteria domain which encode subunits of an alternative nitrogenase having no Mo as a cofactor. This DNA region also contained reading frames encoding glnB-like proteins, which is a common feature of the nitrogenase genes of the Archaea domain. These results indicate that the anf group of nitrogenase genes is the most important group of genes responsible for nitrogen fixation in N. koshunensis and that the anf gene possesses novel features with respect to the regulation of its expression and its gene organization. (+info)Soldier caste-specific gene expression in the mandibular glands of Hodotermopsis japonica (Isoptera: termopsidae). (7/282)
Although "polymorphic castes" in social insects are well known as one of the most important phenomena of polyphenism, few studies of caste-specific gene expressions have been performed in social insects. To identify genes specifically expressed in the soldier caste of the Japanese damp-wood termite Hodotermopsis japonica, we employed the differential-display method using oligo(dT) and arbitrary primers, compared mRNA from the heads of mature soldiers and pseudergates (worker caste), and identified a clone (PCR product) 329 bp in length termed SOL1. Northern blot analysis showed that the SOL1 mRNA is about 1.0 kb in length and is expressed specifically in mature soldiers, but not in pseudergates, even in the presoldier induction by juvenile hormone analogue, suggesting that the product is specific for terminally differentiated soldiers. By using the method of 5'- and 3'-rapid amplification of cDNA ends, we isolated the full length of SOL1 cDNA, which contained an ORF with a putative signal peptide at the N terminus. The sequence showed no significant homology with any other known protein sequences. In situ hybridization analysis showed that SOL1 is expressed specifically in the mandibular glands. These results strongly suggest that the SOL1 gene encodes a secretory protein specifically synthesized in the mandibular glands of the soldiers. Histological observations revealed that the gland actually develops during the differentiation into the soldier caste. (+info)Localization of symbiotic clostridia in the mixed segment of the termite Nasutitermes takasagoensis (Shiraki). (8/282)
Phylogeny and the distribution of symbiotic bacteria in the mixed segment of the wood-eating termite Nasutitermes takasagoensis (Shiraki) were studied. Bacterial 16S rRNA genes (rDNA) were amplified from the mixed segment of the gut by PCR, and two kinds of sequences were identified. The phylogenetic tree was constructed by neighbor-joining and maximum parsimony methods to identify symbionts harbored in the mixed segment. They are classified as low-G+C-content gram-positive bacteria and are most closely related to the genus Clostridium. The distribution of these bacteria throughout the whole gut was examined by PCR using specific primers, which suggested that they are confined to the mixed segment despite the presence of bacteria throughout the gut. In situ hybridization indicated that the symbiotic bacteria were localized to the ectoperitrophic space between the midgut wall and the peritrophic membrane in the mixed segment. Electron microscopy revealed the close association between these bacteria and the mesenteric epithelium, suggesting that they have some interactions with the gut tissue of termites. (+info)Isoptera is an order of largely social, eusocial insects, commonly known as termites, characterized by their unique ability to digest cellulose with the help of protozoan symbionts living in their gut, and having a caste system that includes a reproductive king and queen, soldiers, and sterile workers.
'Isoptera' is an outdated term for a taxonomic order of social insects commonly known as termites. These eusocial insects are closely related to cockroaches and share some similarities in their appearance, but they have specialized castes including workers, soldiers, and reproductives that live in colonies. Termites feed on wood, plant fibers, and other materials containing cellulose, which they break down with the help of symbiotic protozoa living in their gut. The order Isoptera is no longer recognized by modern taxonomists, who now place termites within the cockroach family Blattodea.

4-H Insect Identification Contest Study Guide for Senior 4-H'ers | Mississippi State University Extension Service
The study list contains the common names of 100 insects and related arthropods. While some of these names refer to a specific insect, many are names for groups of insects, and there may be dozens, even hundreds, of different species within the group. For example, head louse, monarch butterfly, Colorado potato beetle, and cicada killer are common names for specific insects, but termite, lady beetle, mosquito, and longhorn beetle are names for groups of insects. There are several different species of termites, dozens of different species of lady beetles and mosquitoes, and hundreds of different species of longhorn beetles.. In cases where the listed name represents a group of insects, you are not expected to be able to identify individual species within the groups. However, you should be familiar enough with the characteristics of the listed group to be able to identify a member of the group regardless of which particular species is presented. For example, whether presented with a specimen of a ...
