16S rRNA amplicon sequencing for Eciton burchellii specimen PL028_W8
Amplicon sequencing library for the v4 region of the 16S rRNA gene were prepared as described by Caporaso et al., ISME J. 6: 16211624 (2012), using primers described in that article. DNA extracted from surface-sterilized worker ant gaster or whole body larvae and myrmecophile beetles was used as template.
