There Is no significant difference between the different zones of
the fungus cemb, but there Is between all zones of the fungus comb
and the foodstores

Methods
Two different methods were uxod to determine the general fungal
flora of the Macroterpma ballicosys neat system* These were the
direct Isolation method and the dilution plate method (see 5.1-4).,
In the direct Isolation method small plecea of tho material were
plated out on SF medium, Isolations were made from 7 moundat the total
number of Isolations made being shown in Table 50206.
In the dilution Plate method three replicate dilution series were
set up from material frcm one mound on SF medium Plates, 5 plates were
prepared for each material and replication* (For more details of the
dilution plate method see 5.1.4. ) Results are shown In Table 5.2-7.
Results
The results are given in Tables 5*2.6
