- 00:14Part I – Extraction of DNA from termite gut microbes
- 00:19Introduction
- 01:34Critical reagents
- 03:08Raising termites in the laboratory
- 04:39Isolating the termite gut track
- 06:00Isolating DNA
- 10:27Part II Making wet mount and visualizing hindgut microbes
- 14:24Conclusion
This video illustrates the technique for extracting DNA from the species of microbes resident in the termite hindgut. The preparation of a wet mount slide, which is useful for visualizing the gut microbial community is also illustrated, and a tour through the species-rich gut environment is given.
