Unbelievable! You Won't Believe What I Found in a Termite's Gut Under the Microscope!

Показать описание

So crazy fact - termites don't digest wood - the microbes in their stomach do.

It's a symbiotic mutually beneficial relationship - and it looks absolutely fascinating under the microscope.

You won't want to miss this!

Is that the only reason a termite eats wood? Is there some way the protozoa gets the termite to target wood?
Also... Obligatory "get wood!"

Why do you have a jar with a thousand termites in it to begin with? 🤔

Do they or can they handle eating rotted wood? Moldy, or way too decomposed wood?

Can you show us on how capsule staining do and don't? And what microorganisms, bacterias or viruses shows while differentiating them???

Really surprising thing to find out. Wonder what drives the termites to attack the wood. Love the video.

In the far future.... We will have pills to help us digest things that aren't food to us.
I hope to never see that future

I've seen them eat concrete before! A network cabinet behind a concrete wall, termites ate through the concrete wall and into the FOBOT and ate the fibre! crazy!

Nicely done. Nice presentation here w just the right amount of information. Goldilocks, my friend.
Hey do you have any xenobots or any oil eaters? May be interesting to the masses.
