Abstract
Study aimed to determine the diversity and the role of symbiont bacteria found in the digestive tract of termites and symbiont fungus grown in the termite nest. Location of research is a rubber plantation which is located about 60 km from the city of Palembang, and 20 km from the district capital Ogan Ilir regency, Inderalaya. Area of the garden is about 2 hectares. In the land of rubber plantation was discovered many termite nests. Symbionts bacteria were identified with the test of characteristics and biochemical activities of bacteria, by using the key books of Bergey's Manual of Determinative Bacteriology. Identification of fungus was done by matching the characteristics of the fungus obtained from observations with identification book Compendium of Soil Fungi. M. gilvus was symbiosized with 3 species of bacteria that live in their digestive tracts, two species were found in the midgut, identified as; E. agglomerans and S. hominis. One species of bacteria was found in the hindgut, identified as P. paucimobilis. On the "fungus comb" inside nest of M. gilvus discovered two species of fungi which were identified as Trichoderma sp. and Mucor sp.
