First report of segmented filamentous bacteria associated with Rhigonema sp. (Nematoda: Rhigonematidae) dwelling in hindgut of Riukiaria sp. (Diplopoda: Xystodesmidae)
We morphologically and molecularly characterized segmented filamentous bacteria (SFB) associated with Rhigonema sp. nematodes in millipede hindguts. Seventy-three Riukiaria sp. millipedes were collected from a broad-leaf forest in Japan, and nematodes were excised from the millipede’s hindguts. The...
