Microflora of the honeybee gastrointestinal tract.

Abstract:

:Microorganisms in the midgut and rectum of the honeybee were enumerated and characterized. Counts of aerobic microorganisms were distinctly lower than counts of anaerobes (10(5)-10(6) viable cells per g of intestinal content vs. 10(8)-10(9) per g). Total numbers of anaerobic microorganisms were almost identical with the count of anaerobic Gram-positive acid resistant rods. A higher number of coliform bacteria and Bacillus spp. was detected in the rectum (10(5) per g). Anaerobic and aerobic microorganisms, coliforms, enterococci, Bacillus spp., Pseudomonas spp. and yeasts were found in all bees; lactobacilli, staphylococci and moulds were not found.
