Termitarium metagenome. termitarium metagenome

Termitarium is the nest of termites made of partially digested food materials and faecal matters of termites enriched with minerals and organic constituents. It provides the most suitable environment for the growth and existence of huge diversity of microorganisms. The existence of dual origins (gut and feces) of termitarium could have specific properties compared to that of the neighbouring soil. Termtiarium metagenome holds the promise of deciphering the novel and bio technologically potential enzymes.
