Abstract
Abstract Rhizoglyphus robini Claparède, commonly known as the bulb mite, has been reported to complete its life-cycle utilizing filter paper as a sole dietary source. However, a complete cellulase complex necessary for crystalline cellulose degradation rarely occurs in arthropods. Experiments demonstrate that R. robini probably derives nutrients from the fungal mycelia growing on the filter paper rather than from the filter paper itself.
