Termitomyces-related symbiotic basidiomycetes in the nests of fungus-growing termites (Macrotermitinae) of several genera in Thailand were cultivated and analyzed phylogenetically based on the DNA sequence of nuclear ribosomal RNA genes. The relationships of the symbiotic fungi with host termites and their locality were apparently complex, supporting intricate mechanisms for the termites to acquire the symbionts.
对泰国几个属的培菌白蚁(大白蚁亚科)巢穴中与蚁巢伞属相关的共生担子菌进行了培养,并基于核糖体RNA基因的DNA序列进行了系统发育分析。共生真菌与宿主白蚁及其产地之间的关系显然很复杂,这支持了白蚁获取共生体的复杂机制。
