title: Amplified 16S rRNA gene from Reticulitermes flavipes (the eastern subterranean termite),  20g Boric Acid, Replicate 1
design: DNA from termite guts was extracted and the bacterial communities analyzed using amplicon sequencing of the 16S rRNA gene, employing specific primers and PCR conditions, followed by purification and sequencing to characterize the microbiome differences between control and boric-acid-treated termites.
