Colony-Level Effects of Imidacloprid in Subterranean Termites (Isoptera: Rhinotermitidae) - Texas A&M University (TAMU) Scholar profile, educations, publications, research, recent courses, and student works

Coptotermes formosanus Shiraki is the most invasive termite species and has the largest economic impact of all the subterranean termites in the US. Although a lot of work has been done on the determination of chemical composition of frontal gland secretion from different families of termites, the protein component of those secretions was relatively overlooked. This study started with the observation that proteins are present in the frontal gland secretion of Coptotermes formosanus Shiraki soldiers. The goal was to characterize one of these proteins by identifying its DNA sequence which would lead to protein sequence, function, structure and role it plays in the defense of Coptotermes formosanus Shiraki. The protein cloned named TFP4 and analysis of its sequence revealed a molecular weight of 6853 Daltons. The sequence was compared with those of known proteins in NCBIs data base and similarities with other proteins analyzed. Two functions were assigned to TFP4, lysozyme and serine protease inhibitor.

Termites (order Isoptera) comprise over 2,700 species and are of global importance as decomposers of lignocellulose material (Kambhampati and Eggleton, 2000; König et al ., 2006) . Over 80% of the approximately 183 economically important termite species are subterranean termites, with the genus Coptotermes accounting for the largest number (28) of pest species (Su and Scheffrahn, 1998). In the United States, the need for control of the native Eastern subterranean termite (Reticulitermes flavipes) and the invasive Formosan subterranean termite (Coptotermes formosanus) supports a multimillion-dollar pest control industry (Su and Scheffrahn, 1998) The cost of control and repairs due to subterranean termite damage is estimated at over $2 billion per year in the United States alone (Culliney and Grace, 2000) .. Subterranean termites rely on beneficial symbioses with a diverse microbial flora in their guts to aid in digestion of lignocellulosic compounds in wood, which are their sole source of ...

A previously undescribed anaerobic, heterofermentative, non-spore-forming, Gram-positive rod was isolated from the hindgut of the Formosan subterranean termite Coptotermes formosanus Shiraki. The DNA G+C content of this bacterium was 37·8 mol%. Sequence analysis of the 16S rRNA gene revealed that this organism is related to, but distinct from, several genera of lactic acid bacteria, principally several species of the genus Enterococcus. Phenotypic traits that serve to separate this organism from related genera include high levels of the cellular fatty acid C18 : 1ω9c and the production of ethanol along with lactic acid as fermentation products. Based on the collected phylogenetic and phenotypic evidence, it is proposed that the unknown organism represents a novel species in a new genus, Pilibacter termitis gen. nov., sp. nov. The type strain is TI-1T (=ATCC BAA-1030T=CCUG 49613T).

Termites. They are every homeowners biggest fear. While subterranean termites can cause more damage to a structure more quickly, drywood termites can be just as dangerous to a building. These little insects can do some serious harm to a building before you are even aware that you have an infestation. So, when you discover a drywood termite infestation, take immediate extermination measures.. All About Drywood Termites. Drywood termites distinguish themselves from subterranean termites in quite a few ways. The most obvious is that they do not need moisture and soil to survive. Instead of making their nests in the ground, drywood termites prefer structural wood found above ground. They love to attack wooden fences, window frames, outdoor furniture, and door frames. Drywood termites are also only found in the hottest climates in the most southern part of the United States, while subterranean termites can be found in most US states.. Since drywood termite nests are built completely inside wood, it ...

Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of Formosan (subterranean) soldier termite (Coptotermes formosanus). The Formosan subterranean termite (Coptotermes formosanus) is a subterranean termite in the family Rhinotermitidae. It is an invasive species of termite and has been distributed worldwide from its native range in southern China to Japan. The Formosan subterranean termite (FST) is know as the super-termite because of its destructive habits. It produces large sized colonies, and the termites can consume wood at a very rapid rate. A single colony may contain several million individuals that forage up to 300 yards in soil. Due to its population size and foraging range the presence of a colony poses serious threats to nearby structures.

Yeast S. cerevisiae has been used for industrial bioethanol production because of its superior capacity, such as robust fermentation, inhibitor tolerance, and high ethanol productivity [1, 34]. The XI pathway, which can circumvent the redox cofactor imbalance, has been proposed as the most efficient pathway in S. cerevisiae to produce ethanol from xylose [29]. Several XI genes have been reported to be functional in S. cerevisiae. Thus, the recombinant yeast strains expressing the XI genes isolated from Piromyces sp. E2, C. phytofermentans, Orpinomyces, and Bacteroides fermented xylose efficiently after long-term adaptation to xylose and extensive genetic engineering [2, 14, 26, 35-38]. Here, for the first time, we report isolation of novel XI clones from the protists residing in the termite hindgut; these newly cloned XI genes exhibited low sequence identity with other known XI genes, several of which were functionally expressed in S. cerevisiae. Although we performed multiple homology searches ...

Means followed by the same letter, per line, do not differ significantly (p , 0.05). The in natura wood chip wear was higher than for the thermally treated chips, with moderate damage in the in natura chips, superficial damage in the chips treated at 180 °C, and no damage in the chips treated at 220 °C and 260 °C. The lower feed preference for the chips torrefied at 220 °C and 260 °C was explained by the change in the water adsorption capacity. The chips became less hygroscopic as the temperature increased (Knapic et al. 2018). The number of water molecules between and inside of the polysaccharide molecules (cellulose and hemicelluloses) and the hydrogen bonds formed between the polysaccharide hydroxyls of the wood and water decreased (Wahl et al. 2004). The lower hygroscopicity made it difficult for the termites to recognize the food substrate (Weiland and Guyonnet 2003). Changes in the chemical composition of the wood may include the production of new free molecules that can act as ...

In termites, the soldier caste, with its specialized defensive morphology, is one of the most important characteristics for sociality. Most of the basal termite species have both male and female soldiers, and the soldier sex ratio is almost equal or only slightly biased. However, in the apical lineages (especially family Termitidae), there are many species that have soldiers with strongly biased sex ratio. Generally in termites, since high juvenile hormone (JH) titer is required for soldier differentiation from a worker via a presoldier stage, it was hypothesized that the biased soldier-sex ratio was caused by differences in JH sensitivity and/or JH titer between male and female workers. Therefore, we focused on the presoldier differentiation and the worker JH titer in species with only male soldiers (Nasutitermes takasagoensis) and with both male and female soldiers (Reticulitermes speratus) in natural conditions. In the former species, there are four types of workers; male minor, male medium, female

Subterranean Termites. Subterranean termites live in the soil around and under homes. They make their way into the home through cracks in the walls and foundations of houses.. Drywood Termites. Drywood termites nest and thrive in the wood they eat. This means that drywood termites are typically found making a bed and breakfast of a homes siding, wood trim, and even wood furniture.. Dampwood Termites. Dampwood termites, as their name suggests, make their home in damp wood. This type of damp wood is often found where the wood structures of houses meet moist soil. Risk factors that may heighten chances of an infestation are leaky pipes or other causes for water to accumulate. Just like subterranean and drywood termites, damp wood termites wont hesitate to begin nesting and eating away at your home, shed, or trees. ...

Site fidelity by molting termites in Formosan subterranean termite, Coptotermes formosanus Shiraki colonies is a new addition to our understanding of lower termites behavior and biology. Our previous studies indicated that workers moved to the central nest to molt in the presence of eggs and reproductives. The current study showed that noviflumuron-affected workers also return to the central nest and died in the vicinity of reproductives and eggs. The aversion to the dead and decaying workers caused reproductives and brood to leave the original central nest site in a colony and refuge at newer sites every few days in response to newly dead workers near them ...

Due to the small size of termites, analyzing termite guts have been very difficult without invasiveness techniques. Nonetheless, it became apparent that termites guts have a characteristic of being anoxic. This characteristic becomes more apparent as one move from the foregut to the hindgut, and is greatest within microbe-packed portions of the hindgut. Termites guts have anoxic conditions because of their steep oxygen gradients at the oxic-anoxic interface drive a continuous influx of O2 into the gut. Through examining termite guts with microsensor, it became evident that O2 may travel 50-200 um into the gut until it is used by the respiratory activity, creating a microoxic periphery around an anoxic center. Radiotracer studies performed with the lower termite Reticulitermes flavipes have shown that the influx of O2 via the gut epithelium and its subsequent reduction in the hindgut periphery has a significant impact on carbon and electron flow within the hindgut microbial community. (10) ...

The establishment of a mutualistic relationship between two species allows both species to find a faster adaptive solution to a problem than would be possible on their own, owing to the synergistic combination of their traits (Maynard Smith & Szathmáry 1997). However, obligate mutualistic interactions also constrain dispersal, as that requires either that both partners disperse together or that they are able to find each other after independent dispersal. Here, we explore long-distance dispersal to the island of Madagascar by a mutualistic symbiosis between insects and fungi: macrotermitine termites and Termitomyces fungi.. The mutualism between fungus-growing termites and their fungal symbionts originated in Africa (Aanen & Eggleton 2005) and is obligate for both partners (Wood & Thomas 1989; Aanen et al. 2002; Froslev et al. 2003). The termites (Isoptera, Termitidae, Macrotermitinae) provide a constant, highly regulated, growth environment for the fungi, and the fungi (genus Termitomyces) ...

A novel Gram-stain-positive bacterium designated CMU-NKS-70T was isolated from a subterranean termite nest and characterized using a polyphasic approach. The strain exhibited branching, pinkish-cream aerial mycelium and cream-brown substrate mycelium, and formed chains of rod-like spores. The 16S rRNA gene sequence analyses indicated that strain CMU-NKS-70T belonged to the genus Pseudonocardia , showing high similarity with Pseudonocardia oroxyli D10T (98.9 % 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity), Pseudonocardia xishanensis YIM 63638T (98.9 %) and Pseudonocardia kujensis A4038T (98.5 %). However, DNA-DNA relatedness values between strains CMU-NKS-70T and the closest phylogenetically related species ranged from 40.5±2.9 to 48.6±0.7 %. Whole-cell hydrolysates of strain CMU-NKS-70T consisted of meso-diaminopimelic acid, glucose, galactose, arabinose, mannose, ribose and rhamnose. The predominant menaquinone was MK-8(H4). The major cellular fatty acids (|10 %) were iso-C16 : 0, C16 : 0, C16 : 1ω7c and

Termite Resistance Study of Oil Palm Trunk Lumber (OPTL) Impregnated with Oil Palm Shell Meal and Phenol-Formaldehyde Resin. Rudi Dungani,a,b Md Nazrul Islam,a,c H.P.S. Abdul Khalil,a,d,* Sri Hartati,e C. K. Abdullah,a Mustika Dewi,b and A. Hadiyane b. A phenol-formaldehyde (PF) resin treatment of OPTL with various concentrations of finely ground palm shell, together abbreviated PF-FGPS, has been used to improve termite resistance. Termite resistance was evaluated in two ways, in a laboratory test and in a field test that lasted 3 months. A feeding arena sample was prepared for the first experiment so that the responses of the subterranean termite (Coptotermes curvignathus (Holmgren)) and the drywood termite (Cryptotermes cynocephalus (Light)) to the laboratory test could be observed for 4 weeks and 12 weeks, respectively. In general, the PF-FGPS led to greater termite resistance than did the control (dried OPTL and rubberwood), and the resistance of the samples to the subterranean termite C. ...

The redistribution of termite worked soil often changes the physical and chemical properties of the land, such as improving the ability to retain water. Researchers have found that sorghum and maize plants grown on soil enriched by termite mounds grow between three and eight times faster, and also show correspondingly greater yield. Ironically, termites are also considered pests. They destroy crops and seedlings and cause significant losses. Some termites attack wood and furniture.. Termites are a part of Botswanas everyday life. The tiny winged insect is a popular food, eaten for its high protein and fat content. They are also used to feed domesticated fowl and chicken. Termites are used as medicine to treat wounds and to treat the sickness of pregnant women. Sometimes pregnant women will eat the soil from termite mounds itself, believing it helps in the development of the fetus. A practice known as geophagia, it often turns into addiction leading to adverse health effects.. ...

There are four major research foci in my laboratory. First, we are interested in elucidating and understanding the molecular mechanisms involved in the survival of pathogenic bacteria in nature and the contribution of these mechanisms to aid these pathogens in their ability to cause human diseases. Second, we are interested in developing peptide based biosensors for rapid detection of important bacterial pathogens. Our biosensors can detect pathogens in just minutes rather than hours or days of other approaches. Third, we have determined that subterranean termite Reticulitermes flavipes possesses ability to produce anti-Pseudomonas and anti-MRSA (methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus) activities when they are induced with heat-killed pathogen. We are currently involved in identifying these antibacterial activities from R. flavipes. Finally, we are interested in genetic and metabolic engineering to develop bacterial cells into microbial factory for optimal production of value-added ...

Termites are cellulose-eating insects that fall under the order Isoptera and showcase a tremendous social system, similar to that of ants and bees. Termites are a huge colony of insects that entail over 2,750 species of termites.

© 2015 Negulescu et al. Coptotermes formosanus is an imported, subterranean termite species with the largest economic impact in the United States. The frontal glands of the soldier caste termites comprising one third of the body mass, contain a secretion expelled through a foramen in defense. The small molecule composition of the frontal gland secretion is well-characterized, but the proteins remain to be identified. Herein is reported the structure and function of one of several proteins found in the termite defense gland secretion. TFP4 is a 6.9 kDa, non-classical group 1 Kazal-type serine protease inhibitor with activity towards chymotrypsin and elastase, but not trypsin. The 3-dimensional solution structure of TFP4 was solved with nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, and represents the first structure from the taxonomic family, Rhinotermitidae. Based on the structure of TFP4, the protease inhibitor active loop (Cys8 to Cys16) was identified.

How Do Termites Survive Drops In Temperature And Water Shortages?. Termites are tiny creatures that do not move around fast, so they must take care to avoid areas that are too hot or too cold. Termites are particularly picky about their surrounding heat and moisture levels. Termites will not forage in areas that are not within a certain temperature and moisture range. Termites prefer temperatures in between seventy five and ninety five degrees fahrenheit. Termites will perish quickly if an environments temperature rises above one hundred degrees or below twenty five degrees. Even though termites are not the speediest of insects, they make it their priority to remain within areas where the temperature level is ideal.. Over the course of a year, temperatures fluctuate dramatically in all regions of the US. When consuming the cellulose in a log, for example, termites will respond to temperature changes by moving from the outer to inner portions of a log. Subterranean termites, the most common ...

Our results show that colonies of R. virginicus undergo AQS as described previously in the Japanese subterranean termite, R. speratus [4]. As is typical of subterranean termites, colonies of both R. speratus and R. virginicus are founded by monogamous pairs of primary reproductives [1,19,20], but at some point, relatively early in the colony life cycle, the primary queen is replaced by her parthenogenetically produced neotenic daughters. These female neotenics then mate with either a primary or a secondary king to produce workers, soldier and alates through sexual reproduction. The fact that our colonies of R. virginicus came from opposite ends of its distribution (North Carolina and Texas) indicates that such a system is widespread in this species.. As described previously [4], there are many advantages of AQS over a system of queen replacement involving normal sexual production of female neotenics. First, by producing numerous secondary replacement queens, the queen is able to increase her ...

This study was carried out to find the effect of some commonly present plant products on termite species (Heterotermis indicola) which are a major threat worldwide. Three different concentrations (20%, 10%, 5%) of various solutions consisting of garlic, Neem and tobacco was used in hot and cold water. Hot and cold water results showed that a high concentration treatment of the garlic (20%) solution caused 100% mortality after 48 hours, but in the case of the tobacco concentration (20%) of the solution in only cold water resulted in 100% mortality. As the concentration become lower, the efficiency becomes slower. 100% mortality in the 10% & 5% solutions of garlic and tobacco occurred in different days. In case of Neem, both hot and cold water was found less effective as compared to garlic and tobacco. The mortality occurred using Neem was significantly less than garlic and tobacco.

In Europe the most abundant naturally residing termite is the subterranean genus Reticulitermes (Rhinotermitidae). Six phenotypes of Reticulitermes have been identified on the basis of morphological,

Termites are among the most successful insect lineages on the globe and are responsible for providing numerous ecosystem services. They mainly feed on wood and other plant material at different stages of humification. Lignocellulose is often a principal component of such plant diet, and termites largely rely on their symbiotic microbiota and associated enzymes to decompose their food efficiently. While lower termites and their gut flagellates were given larger scientific attention in the past, the gut lignocellulolytic bacteria of higher termites remain less explored. Therefore, in this study, we investigated the structure and function of gut prokaryotic microbiomes from 11 higher termite genera representative of Syntermitinae, Apicotermitinae, Termitidae and Nasutitermitinae subfamilies, broadly grouped into plant fibre- and soil-feeding termite categories. Despite the different compositional structures of the studied termite gut microbiomes, reflecting well the diet and host lineage, we observed a

Phenol-oxidizing laccases from the termite gut. Insect Biochemistry and Molecular Biology. 40(10):723-732. Interpretive Summary: Termites consume wood, which is an extraordinarily complex mixture of molecules, as their primary source of nutrition. Most organisms do not possess the enzymes necessary to break down wood, but termites possess a battery of enzymes which facilitate its breakdown simple sugars, which are then used as an energy source as typical in other organisms. One such group of enzymes, the laccases, which was originally discovered in wood-degrading fungi, was discovered in the eastern subterranean termite, Reticulitermes flavipes. Previously, laccases were identified in insects and were implicated in the hardening process of the insect exoskeleton. However, in this case laccase was found to be expressed in the midgut ...

We continue to be an industry leader in termite control through how we treat termites, customer service, innovative treatments, and results.

PCR-based subtractive hybridization was used to isolate genes preferentially expressed in a termite (Mastotermes darwiniensis) following exposure to an entomopathogenic fungus. The subtraction procedure yielded a cDNA clone encoding a putative transferrin that, when sequenced to its ends, is the largest (728 amino acids) for any insect transferrin characterized to date. Cysteines and residues comprising putative iron-binding sites are conserved in both N- and C-terminal lobes, suggesting structural and functional similarity to diferric vertebrate transferrins. A quantitative PCR assay confirmed a significant increase in transferrin expression following infection, suggesting its up-regulation is part of the innate immune response. However, codon-based tests for selection among known insect transferrins revealed only a small proportion of codon-sites positively selected.

Cellulases and xylanases are enzymes of industrial significance, particularly in the pulp, paper, textile, and animal feed industries. Moreover, their utilization in the food industry, among them, bakery, brewery, winery and fruit and vegetable juice production, cannot be underestimated. One of the potential sources of enzymes is the filamentous fungi, and hence bio-prospecting of this specific group of microorganisms with the highest levels of cellulase and xylanase secretions is being continuously undertaken. The specific aim of this study was to isolate and characterize cellulase- and xylanase-producing filamentous fungi from termite mounds. Termite mounds have long been established as very good sources of filamentous fungi with the ability to secrete high levels of lignocellulolytic enzymes, and hence an ideal target for the bio-prospecting of cellulases and xylanases. In this study, various groups of filamentous fungi were isolated through enrichment and repeated sub-culturing. This was followed

Research on Formosan subterranean termites in New Orleans finds that in areas with many termite colonies, elimination of one colony may result in the re-invasion by a neighboring colony. This begs the question: Is it ever possible to maintain a termite-free area?

Most bigger termites, particularly in the family Termitidae, can make their very own cellulase enzymes, Nonetheless they count principally upon the micro organism. The flagellates are actually misplaced in Termitidae.[82][eighty three][84] Researchers idea of the connection in between the termite digestive tract and the microbial endosymbionts remains to be rudimentary; whats correct in all termite species, nonetheless, is that the personnel feed another users in the colony with substances derived with the digestion of plant content, both with the mouth or anus.[51] Judging from closely associated bacterial species, it can be strongly presumed which the termites and cockroachs gut microbiota derives from their dictyopteran ancestors.[85 ...

Reticulitermids were significantly more likely to discover subterranean baits connected by physical guidelines than freestanding baits under both laboratory and field conditions. In the laboratory, subterranean termites built significantly longer tunnels adjacent to cellulosic guidelines than plastic guidelines. In the field, all guideline materials were equally effective at directing tunneling activity. Reticulitermes spp. workers were tested to determine their preferred substrate temperature. The preferred range for Reticulitermes spp. workers was found to be 18 to 27 ° C. A laboratory bioassay was performed to determine if Reticulitermes spp. aggregates within thermal shadows. Significantly more Reticulitermes spp. workers aggregated within cool thermal shadows than control areas. In a multiple choice bioassay, mean consumption was higher for paper baits treated with fructose, galactose, glucose, raffinose, sucrose, trehalose and uric acid than for control baits. In a multiple choice ...

Most people believe that spring is the perfect season for swarming. People believe that this season is the most favourable season for termites to spread out and start another colony just like any other pests. However, they are wrong. Not all termite species swarm during spring.. Indeed, there are many termites that swarm during spring but there are also some termite species prefer to swarm during autumn. They would swarm during June and may extend to August. Like spring swarmers, fall swarmers would also swarm during the same time of day - late morning or late afternoon. These species are sometimes confused as termite swarms because of its size and color.. Termites that swarm during autumn prefer this season because the warm temperatures during autumn would trigger them to flock. Moreover, they also love moisture. And since autumn is a warm and nice season full of moisture, these termite species would find it as the best season to swarm, spread out and start another colony.. The biggest concern ...

Fungi of the genus Termitomyces (Basidiomycota) are cultivated by termite species of the subfamily Macrotermitinae (Isoptera). The fungus provides food for the termites and helps them degrade plant material. Not much is known about the origin of the symbiosis and the evolutionary history of Termitomyces. By studying the biology, ecology and phylogeny of fungi related to Termitomyces, but not associated with termites, I hope to reconstruct how the symbiosis could arise and whether the ancestor of Termitomyces had pre-adaptations to be domesticated by termites. Preliminary results indicate that the sister group of Termitomyces also has an association insect, but in a loose sense. ...

4; SD = 4.4). 4. Discussion. The results of this study indicated seasonal differences in the diet of Physalaemus cf. cicada. These differences can be related not only to the prey availability, but also to the changes in the composition of the community of active anurans. In both seasons, P. cf. cicada presented a diet based mainly on Isoptera and Formicidae. In the rainy season, the number of termites found in gastrointestinal tracts was smaller than in the dry season, probably due to their lower availability in the environment, and due to the presence of B. granulosus in the same season, since this species also consumed the same kind of food in large amounts. Furthermore, we found a significative positive correlation between the individual size of P. cf. cicada and maximum volume of consumed prey only in the rainy season.. Formicidae presented the largest abundance in the environment, but the frequency of occurrence and the numeric frequency were proportionally small when compared to their ...

The ability of Cryptotermes secundus workers to develop into neotenic replacement reproductives after a single moult offers the unique possibility to study differential gene expression during caste differentiation. In this study, we compared the transcriptomes from female neotenics and workers of both gender using RDA to identify novel neotenics-specific transcripts.. We were able to identify five genes that were highly overrepresented in female neotenics of the drywood termite C. secundus. Four of these five genes were overexpressed in the head. Expression of the genes Neofem1 and Neofem2 of C. secundus was highly specific for female reproductives. Both genes are predicted to encode secretory proteins that are specifically expressed in the heads of female neotenics. The open reading frame of Neofem1 encodes a putative esterase-lipase which shows the highest similarity to yet uncharacterized proteins of the red flour beetle Tribolium castaneum and the honey bee Apis mellifera which are putative ...

Treat all of houses wood with a sodium borate Yes, all of the wood should be treated with a sodium borate. What they recommended is fine if all you get is subterranean termites, but there are drywood termites in the area, as well as several species of wood-destroying beetles. Most companies just treat the bottom few feet because all they need is a hand sprayer for that. There are companies that have the necessary equipment to treat all the wood in the house. Either of these will protect the wood for many years from being attacked by any wood-destroying insects, including termites, wood-boring beetles, carpenter ants and carpenter bees. In New Zealand, it has been required since 1954 that all wood used in homes be treated with a sodium borate before installation. Is there an easier and safer way of dealing with these destructive pests? Have your home treated with XT-2000 Orange Oil. With XT-2000, they will use the same amount of product for the beetles, so the cost will be considerably less and

Abstract: Bacterial strains isolated from the gut of the local termite Coptotermes curvignathus were inoculated into a buffered medium containing minerals and Whatman filter paper as the sole carbon source to observe the ability of the bacteria to digest solid substrate. The bacteria were Bacillus cereus strain Razmin A, Enterobacter aerogenes strain Razmin B, Enterobacter cloacae strain Razmin C, Acinetobacter strain Raminalimon and Chryseobacterium kwangyangense strain Cb. The Gen Bank NCBI/EMBL accession numbers for the bacterial strains were EU294508, EU305608, EU305609, EU332791 and EU169201, respectively. The ability of bacterial cultures to grow in this medium as well as to digest the filter paper was determined by visual observation after 30 days. All bacterial cultures showed growth as the medium turned cloudy and the filter paper became macerated. Chryseobacterium kwangyangense strain Cb showed yellow pigmented colonies on the filter paper. Bacillus cereus strain Razmin A showed clumps ...

TY - JOUR. T1 - Intracolonial genetic variation affects reproductive skew and colony productivity during colony foundation in a parthenogenetic termite. AU - Miyazaki, Satoshi. AU - Yoshimura, Miho.

N2 - Background: In insect societies, intracolonial genetic variation is predicted to affect both colony efficiency and reproductive skew. However, because the effects of genetic variation on these two colony characteristics have been tested independently, it remains unclear whether they are affected by genetic variation independently or in a related manner. Here we test the effect of genetic variation on colony efficiency and reproductive skew in a rhinotermitid termite, Reticulitermes speratus, a species in which female-female pairs can facultatively found colonies. We established colonies using two types of female-female pairs: colonies founded by sisters (i.e., ...

Most think of termites as destroying buildings, not helping design them. But the Eastgate Building, an office complex in Harare, Zimbabwe, has an air conditioning system modeled on the self-cooling mounds of macrotermes michaelseni. Termites in Zimbabwe build gigantic mounds inside of which they farm a fungus that is their primary food source. The fungus must be kept at exactly 87 degrees F, while the temperatures outside range from 35 degrees F at night to 104 degrees F during the day. The termites achieve this remarkable feat by constantly opening and closing a series of heating and cooling vents throughout the mound over the course of the day. With a system of carefully adjusted convection currents, air is sucked in at the lower part of the mound, down into enclosures with muddy walls, and up through a channel to the peak of the termite mound. The industrious termites constantly dig new vents and plug up old ones in order to regulate the temperature ...

The harvester termite, Anacanthotermes ubachi Navas (Hodotermitidea) occurs throughout the desert regions of Israel. This species nests in subsurface galleries where dead plant material, the termites main food source, and feces are stored. We measured potential net nitrogen (N) mineralization and nitrification and soil respiration in 7-day laboratory incubations of plant litter at different stages of termite processing, termite feces and termite gallery soil (carton) following wetting. Our objectives were (1) to characterize the amount of potential N release from termite-affected plant and soil materials, (2) to evaluate the potential for leaching of N from the galleries and (3) to make a preliminary evaluation of the importance of termites to the carbon (C) and N cycles of the Negev desert. Two distinct phases were seen in the dynamics of inorganic N during the 7 day incubations: (1) release of N following wetting and (2) immobilization of N from day 1 to day 7 of the incubation. The percent ...

Genes encoding allatostatin CC (AST-CC) were discovered relatively recently following a search of various arthropod genomes (Veenstra, 2009). The gene encoding AST-CC is a paralog of the allatostatin C (AST-C) gene. Both these genes are homologous to the vertebrate somatostatins. Interestingly, AST-CC encoding precursors have a signal anchor instead of the N-terminal signal peptide in several arthropods including Drosophila, tsetse flies, Zootermopsis nevadensis and Procambarus clarkii (Veenstra, 2015). Thus, AST-CC may function in a juxtacrine manner as opposed to an endocrine or paracrine factor in these species. However, AST-CC precursors in other species such as Tribolium castaneum, Rhodnius prolixus and Apis mellifera have a classical signal peptide. Like AST-C, arthropod AST-CCs contains two cysteine residues, which suggests that the peptide becomes cyclized by a disulfide bridge. In T. castaneum, there is a single somatostatin-like GPCR, which is activated by both AST-C and AST-CC; ...

The inflorescence is a headlike cluster of a few cone-shaped spikelets accompanied by a long, stiff bract which looks like an extension of the stem ...

Atmosphere and CO2 levels are exchanged via many thousands of millimeter-sized external windows, of sorts, in the mounds outer wall. The termites have been designed with the ability to frequently open and close these tiny windows, based upon outside breezes and CO2 accumulation in the nest.

The Merit label I saw carried no warnings about bees even though there is no question that a sufficiently large dose of Immidacloprid is known to kill honeybees. This fact is not in any dispute. The question really is whether there are low, sub-lethal doses that do kill the bees. Bayer says there is no proof of this. They cannot find any traces of the stuff in the dead bees. (Actually, they cannot even find the bees.) Consider, however, the following. The graphic on the Merit label illustrates how the product travels up from the roots into the branches. Bayer claims (and studies confirm) that it is present in blossoms and pollen and that it persists in the soil for at least one year. So the bees do get some of it. If it will kill a really tough Japanese Beetle for 12 months is it really sensible to think that it wouldnt kill a honeybee, known to be sensitive to the drug? Consider also Bayers own account of how termites are killed by Imidacloprid: the termites immune system is compromised by ...

Textile industry represents one prevalent activity worldwide, generating large amounts of highly contaminated and rich in azo dyes wastewater, with severe effects on natural ecosystems and public health. However, an effective and environmentally friendly treatment method has not yet been implemented, while concurrently, the increasing demand of modern societies for adequate and sustainable energy supply still remains a global challenge. Under this scope, the purpose of the present study was to isolate promising species of yeasts inhabiting wood-feeding termite guts, for combined azo dyes and textile wastewater bioremediation, along with biodiesel production. Thirty-eight yeast strains were isolated, molecularly identified and subsequently tested for desired enzymatic activity, lipid accumulation, and tolerance to lignin-derived metabolites. The most promising species were then used for construction of a novel yeast consortium, which was further evaluated for azo dyes degradation, under various culture

Nature abounds with structures built by animals other than humans, or animal architecture, as it is commonly termed, such as termite mounds, wasp and beehives, burrow complexes of rodents, beaver dams, elaborate nests of birds, and webs of spiders. Often, these structures incorporate sophisticated features such as ventilation, temperature regulation, structural strength, multiple escape routes, traps, bait, special-purpose chambers and many other features. They may be created by individuals or complex societies of social animals with different forms carrying out specialised roles. These constructions may arise from complex building behaviour of animals such as in the case of night-time nests for chimpanzees, from inbuilt neural responses, which feature prominently in the construction of bird songs, or triggered by hormone release as in the case of domestic sows, or as emergent properties from simple instinctive responses and interactions, as exhibited by termites, or combinations of these. The ...

Jesus had a full share in our human nature (Heb 2:14). He is truly and fully man. That Jesus, the Word, became flesh (Jn 1:14) is the most shocking event in the history of the human race. Bishop Sheen said that the difference between a human being and an amoeba is much less than the difference between God and man. Therefore, if a human being emptied himself of his humanity (see Phil 2:7) and became an amoeba, this would not be nearly as extreme as God becoming man.. Imagine you could become a termite and become a brother or sister to some other termites. Jesus refusal to be ashamed to call us His brothers and sisters (Heb 2:11; see also 2:17) may be as shocking as His Incarnation.. Finally, Jesus decided to give Himself to us under the appearance of human food and drink, that is, bread and wine. If you had the power to appear as amoeba food or termite food, would you do such a thing? Jesus incarnate, Brother Jesus, eucharistic Jesus is unimaginably shocking. Because God is Love (1 Jn 4:16), ...

Neoteny in humans is the slowing or delaying of body development, compared to non-human primates, resulting in features such as a large head, a flat face, and relatively short arms and legs. These neotenic changes may have been brought about by sexual selection in human evolution. In turn, they may have permitted the development of human capacities such as emotional communication. However, humans also have relatively large noses and long legs, both peramorphic (not neotenic) traits. In humans, neotenic traits include several features of the head, including the globular skull thinness of skull bones; the reduction of the brow ridge; the large brain; the flattened and broadened face; the hairless face; hair on (top of) the head; larger eyes; ear shape; small nose; small teeth; and the small maxilla (upper jaw) and mandible (lower jaw). Neoteny of the human body is indicated by glabrousness (hairless body). Neoteny of the genitals is marked by the absence of a baculum (penis bone); the presence of ...

A more recent example of this manifestation of biomimicry is the Eastgate Centre, a commercial building constructed in Harare, Zimbabwe. Began in 1991, the project was given by the Old Mutual investment group to Mick Pearce, a Zimbabwean architect, with the intention of it becoming the largest of its kind in the country. With this, however, came the problem of paying large amounts of money in order to provide ventilation for all of its 55000 square meters. Thus, it was up to Pearce to figure out how to do so while utilizing inert, sustainable climate control. Teaming up with Arup Associates, the solution came to him in the form of a system modelled after the ventilation produced in the mounds of Macrotermes michaelseni, termites found in his country. Sheltering a sizeable number of termites, along with other organisms such as fungi, a mound was usually very large, much taller than the insects that constructed it, so as to ensure its being able to reach the wind. The air was then able to pass ...

On that stretch of road we had an excellent view of the ancient termite mounds or heuweltjies that give the fields such a lumpy appearance. These mounds were already alluded to by the 18th century Astronomer and Geodesist, Nicolas-Louis De La Caille. Go here to read the section in Dr. Ian Glasss book on De la Caille. For a more recent and scientific coverage of the topic you can go here to read an article published by the Department of Soil Science at the University of Stellenbosch. We passed through Moorreesburg which considers itself the heart of the Swartland wheat industry and actually boasts a wheat industry museum, one of only three in the world.. We then headed for the twin towns of Riebeek West and Riebeek Kasteel. Just outside the former we passed the cement factory of PPC (Pretoria Portland Cement) where one can visit the restored house in which General Jan Christian Smuts was born. ...

Theres a hefty hum to Winklers installation, which shares the gallery space with a lighter solo show by Nara Park. Winklers works each contribute some motion to the overall room-feel; as a complete environment, Homesteading accomplishes more than its constituent parts-perhaps the same way that Charles Rays enigmatic sculptures always work better together than they do apart. Taken individually, though, Winklers works are each too indebted to his forebears. Parks exhibit, Between Millions of Years, is also a trio. (Or possibly a quartet, although Fragment I and Fragment II, two textured wall plates made of wood, read like a diptych.) The centerpiece of her show is the title work, Between Millions of Years, an installation comprising hundreds of transparent packing boxes stacked up as the orderly walls of a crystal cave. Using fugitive materials such as plastic cake boxes is a move right out of Tara Donovans playbook. (See Donovans termite mounds of index cards on view at the ...

The black, or black-mouthed, mamba (Dendroaspis polylepis) inhabits rocky savanna and can often be encountered on the ground, where it seems to be fond of termite mounds. Ranging in color from gray to dark brown, its name derives from the blackened inside of its mouth. The black mamba is feared because it is large and quick, and it possesses an extremely potent venom that kills of most of its human victims. Despite its aggressive reputation, unprovoked attacks on humans have not been proved, and it is responsible for only a small number of deaths annually.. ...

In the Sahara, where it is expectedly very hot, they hunt at night and at dawn. While in the Serengeti they tend to fit their hunting in around the hunting times of the lions and hyenas. In the Masai Mara, the preferred times for hunting are between 7.30 am and 10 am in the morning and 4.30 pm and 7.30 pm in the afternoon and evening.. The other top predators such as the lion and cheetah are more aggressive than the cheetah and a threat. Cheetah keep a watch for these animals from, for example, termite mounds (see top picture). Watching can occupy 20% of the day (Masai Mara).. As is the case for the other big cats, the cheetah needs to get as close as possible to the prey before attacking. The stalking segment is important because if the prey are alerted and disperse during stalking the hunt fails almost 75% of the time.. Where there is sufficient cover the cheetah might approach to 30 metres before attacking. In areas of less cover the distance might be 200 metres. As is the case for the puma ...
