Figure 5. Activity of antioxidant enzymes and expression of immune genes in nestmates.

Figure 5

(A) The activity of two antioxidant enzymes including catalase (CAT) and superoxide dismutase (SOD). (B) The expression of four immune genes including phenoloxidase, transferrin, termicin, and defensin. Error bars represent mean ± SEM. Asterisks denote significant differences between the nestmates of control-treated termites (white bars) and the nestmates of fungus-treated termites (black bars) after 5 d of social contact with treated termites. (*p < 0.05; **p < 0.01; n.s., not significant; paired t-test).
