Abstract

92 One of poorly studied aspects of trophism of soil� inhabiting invertebrates is the evaluation of nitrogen sources and the role of microorganisms in their nutri� tion, particularly in groups specializing in consuming plant food. The most widespread view is that the main food source of soil phytovores and saprovores is soil microorganisms, which is proved by presence of numerous specialized microbophages in the content of soil population, particularly among microarthro� pods. However, zoomicrobial relationships in pedo� bionts are characterized by a wide spectrum of interac� tions, from trophic to obligate mutualistic. Parietal and cavernous groups are distinguished in the intesti� nal complexes of microorganisms in soil invertebrates; symbiotic nature of parietal forms and selective diges� tion of microbial cells have been shown [1].
