Dose-Dependent Effects of a Gut-Derived Bacillus on Survival and Feeding in a Neotropical Termite

Diversity
The ecological success of termites is closely linked to their associations with gut microbial communities, yet these interactions may also entail potential fitness costs. The effects of gut-associated bacteria on host performance remain poorly understood.
