title: Gut microbiota of the litter-feeding termite Syntermes wheeleri
design: 16S rRNA genes amplified with archaeal-specific and bacterial-specific primers and 18S amplified with fungi-specific primers. The whole DNA was extracted from the gut of third and fourth instar workers. The sequencing was performed multiplexed in 1/8 plate for the 16S rRNA genes and another 1/8 plate for the 18S rRNA genes. Three replicates of each instar were sequenced: 1CC, 2CC and 3CC are the replicates from the third instar from nest 1, 2, and 3, respectively; 1CE, 2CE and 3CE are the replicates from the fourth instar from nest 1, 2, and 3, respectively.
