Drs. Michael Klug and Michael Kaufman propose a structural              and metabolic study of interactions within the hindgut of                       crickets.  The structure of and population dynamics within most                 microbial communities are not well understood.  Constraints                     imposed in the study of natural microbial systems lead to this                  proposal to study localized bacterial communities in the hindgut                of crickets (Orthoptera: Gryllidae, Gryllotalpidae) in order to                 address these fundamental questions.  The principle advantages of               examining the cricket hindgut system include the opportunity to                 re-associate germ-free insects with specific populations of                     bacteria in order to test postulates and about interactions                     within fermentative communities.                                                        These investigations will elucidate successional patterns,              metabolic characteristics, and factors regulating populations                   within the fermentative bacterial community.  Furthermore, they                 will address basic questions concerning the relationship between                populations of bacteria and between microorganisms and insects.
