Column 1 refers to the termite species. Column 2 and 3 refer to the number and identity of cells of either the Coronympha-morph or Metacoronympha-morph that were isolated, or if the whole-gut was isolated. Column 4 refers to the number of clones that were sequenced from amplification products from that pool of cells, except in the case of the Metacoronympha-morph from I. banksi where products were direct sequenced from two different cells.
