Termitarium Metagenome. termitarium metagenome

Termite nest possess unique properties arising from the combinations of materials from dual sources, viz., faeces and soil, which cause increased richness in clay and organic matters on compared to the neighbouring soil. The higher organic content may increase microbial diversity in termite nest. Decipheirng the metagenome of termitarium provides a deeper insight into the identification of novel microorganisms and biotechnologically potential enzymes.
