Resumen
Descripción
Interactions between saprophagous invertebrates and microbes are essential for the maintenance and functioning of soil ecosystems, as they directly affect the degradation of organic matter and the nutrient cycle. The intestinal tract of invertebrates is inhabited by a diversity of microbes, and it is closely associated with the food ingested. The aim of this work was to evaluate the profile of prokaryotes associated with the intestinal tract of three invertebrate species. The species of invertebrates Trigoniulus corallinus was collected and incubated in the experiment, after 5 days of incubation we observed the uninduced colonization of two invertebrate species Cubaris murina and Pycnoscelus surinamensis.
