Nitrogen fixation by bacteria from the hindgut of termites.

Abstract

Anaerobically grown bacteria isolated from the hindgut contents of the termites Coptotermes lacteus (Froggatt), Mastotermes darwiniensis Froggatt and Nasutitermes exitiosus (Hill) were nitrogenase-positive as assayed by acetylene reduction. Nitrogen fixation, confirmed with 15N2, was highest in the isolate from M. darwiniensis. All isolates were identified as Citrobacter freundii (Braak) Werkman & Gillen.
