Relative abundance of Archaea and Eubacteria 16 S ribosomal DNA along C. cumulans alimentary canal. (a) Archaea abundance; ns = no significance and ****p < 0.0001. (b) Eubacteria abundance; ns = no significance, ****p < 0.0001 and *p = 0.0123. Foregut (fg), midgut (mg) and hindgut compartments – p1, p3, p4 and p5. Analyses were performed using qPCR and the 2−ΔΔCT method, with termite HSP-70 as the housekeeping gene and the midgut as a reference sample. The data shown are mean ± S.E.M. from nine replicates with ANOVA and Dunnett’s multiple comparisons test.
