肠道内容物的pH值测定在52种高等白蚁（白蚁科），代表36属在所有4个亚科。一个统计学上显着的趋势显示，从较低的白蚁与低的平均肠道pH值，通过白蚁与较高的平均肠道pH值。pH值的升高主要发生在第一和第三proctodaeal段，高达10.5的8个土食属和1个木食属的白蚁。肠道pH值的升高白蚁似乎是独立的一般性质的喂养基板。
The pH of the gut contents was measured in 52 species of higher termites (Termitidae), representing 36 genera in all four subfamilies. A statistically significant trend was shown from lower termites with low mean gut pH through to the Termitinae with higher mean gut pHs. Elevation of the pH occurred principally in the first and third proctodaeal segments, reaching values as high as 10.5 in 8 soil-feeding genera and 1 wood-feeding genus of Termitinae. Elevation of gut pH within the Termitidae appears to be independent of the general nature of the feeding substrate.
