samp_mat_process
Five live termites were transferred into an anaerobic chamber under a 100% nitrogen atmosphere and immediately degutted using sterilized tweezers, and the isolated guts were pooled and thoroughly homogenized using sterile pipette tips to release the gut microbiome into 1 mL of sterile, anoxic saline solution (0.85% NaCl). The resulting microbial suspension was divided into two aliquots: one aliquot was pelleted by centrifugation at 10,000 g for 10 min and stored at 80 C for microbial taxonomic analysis, while the other was used for electrochemical analysis.
