Arthropods, particularly insects form successful highly symbiotic relationship with endosymbiotic bacteria. The associations between insects and endosymbionts are remarkably stable; many stretch back several hundred million years in evolutionary time.Insects are amongst the most successful of animals, both in terms of diversity and in colonizing all ecological niches. The aim of this study was to isolate and identify microbes that were collected from the guts of cockroach Periplanata americana. Key words: Periplanata americana, microorganisms, bacteria, fungi.
