locked doors : )
Reply:spread termite gut on a cellulose containing agar plate, incubate at whatever temperature is natural to the gut of a termite(?). incubate and then pick colonies that have grown and re-spread on a cellulose agar plate of some sort. the colonies that grow on this plate should be the "cellulose metaboloising bacteria of the termite gut".
