Abstract
Cultivable gut bacteria from worker and soldier castes of Anacanthotermes ahngerianus were isolated and analysed using MALDI-TOF MS and Gram staining. Fifteen pure isolates were obtained: seven from workers and eight from soldiers. Worker isolates were assigned to Enterobacter (57.1%) and Bacillus (28.6%); one isolate (14.3%) remained unidentified. All soldier isolates were assigned to Acinetobacter. The results indicate differences in the taxonomic composition of cultivable gut bacteria between the two castes under the experimental conditions.
