Microscopic protozoans that are found in the gut of insects are commonly referred to as insect gut protozoa. These protozoa live symbiotically with insects and can play important roles in the digestion and nutrition of their hosts. They are diverse in their morphology, behavior, and ecological functions within the insect gut ecosystem.

What are gut bacteria?
Gut bacteria are, well, bacteria found in the gut. Bacteria are microorganisms made of a single cell; more information on them can be found in the external links provided here. The gut is usually considered any part of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract, from mouth to anus.All animals have gut bacteria. This is a normal and completely healthy condition. These normal gut bacteria are considered to make up the normal gut flora or gut microbiota of an individual.Different parts of the GI tract contain different bacteria. This has to do with the environment found in the different parts of the GI tract. For example, the stomach provides an acidic environment, making it difficult for most bacteria to survive. The colon, on the other hand, provides a suitable environment for anaerobic organisms like Bacteroides fragilis and Entereschia coli (E. coli).

What is the symbiotic relationship between a digestive tract microorganism and a termite?
Mutualism, meaning that both organisms benefit. -The protozoans aid the termites in digesting wood. -The termites give the protozoans food and a warm place to live (in their gut).

Is there a type of termite that can eat through steel?
No ---------------------------------------------------------- I am no entomological expert, but I can say with some confidence that no such species exists. Termites eat through wood because it is high in cellulose, in fact they will eat almost anything high in cellulose (one of the few animal species that can process raw cellulose). The termites themselves do not process the cellulose, though. They have symbiont protozoans in their hindgut that do this for them, so they survive through a symbiotic relationship with these gut protozoans. As a species, termites are defined by this dependence on cellulose. So, if an insect species was found to eat steel, it would most likely not be classified as a termite. Steel does not contain cellulose.
How do opiates cause constipation?
Most opiates are agonists of the mu opiod receptors. These are found both in the brain and in the gut. When they activate the receptors in the gut, it causes paralysis of the intestines and slows down peristalsis.
