Patterns of interaction specificity of fungus-growing termites and <it>Termitomyces </it>symbionts in South Africa

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Termites of the subfamily Macrotermitinae live in a mutualistic symbiosis with basidiomycete fungi of the genus <it>Termitomyces</it>. Here, we explored interaction specificity in fungus-growing termites using samples fro...
