Origin and Alteration of Organic Matter in Termite Mounds from Different Feeding Guilds of the Amazon Rainforests
Fig 1
Amino sugars (galactosamine = GalN, mannosamine = ManN, glucosamine = GlcN) plus muramic acid (MurAc) in nest samples of different termite genera and potential food sources (a) referred to total organic C and (b) referred to soil weight.
The standard deviation (SD) belongs to the sum of all amino sugars analyzed. Sum of amino sugar followed by the same letter were not significantly different (P < 0.05).
