Camponotus Sp

The Camponotus is a genus of ant that occurs in much of the world and is known in many countries as a carpenter ant, because these common ants elect the inside of rotten wood as the ideal place for her nest. This bacterium synthesizes essential amino acids and other nutrients to the excellent development of the colony.
