Abstract

The objective of this work was to evaluate the microbial community associated with the intestinal tract of the millipede Trigoniulus corallinus. Diplopods were collected and incubated on diets with litter of potato grass (Paspalum notatum) and thrush (Mimosa caesalpinifolia). Analysis of the 16S DNA gene by DGGE revealed microbial diversity conditioned by the diet offered up to 45 days. After this period the effect was no longer visible. The community associated with coprolites and the type of litter is distributed in separate groups of samples from the intestinal tract. The same was not observed in the evaluation of the actinomycetes community, where the great differential for group division was the diet. Animals fed grass litter showed a diverse community and not influenced by time or compartmentalization. Samples associated with litter and coprolites were 80% similar to those from the intestinal tract. All samples had nifH genes detected via PCR. There is evidence of BNF in the intestinal tract of millipedes. The prokaryotes community was influenced by the diet offered up to 45 days and the actinomycetes community was conditioned according to the diet.
