dc.descriptionIn this paper, we present the metagenomic dataset of gut microbial DNA of the lower group of subterranean termites, i.e. Coptotermes gestroi, and the higher groups, i.e. Globitermes sulphureus and Macrotermes gilvus, in Penang, Malaysia. Two replicates of each species were sequenced using Next-Generation Sequencing (Illumina MiSeq) and analysed via QIIME2. The results returned with 210,248 sequences in C. gestroi, 224,972 in G. sulphureus, and 249,549 in M. gilvus. The sequence data were deposited in the NCBI Sequence Read Archive (SRA) under BioProject number of PRJNA896747. The community analysis showed that Bacteroidota is the most abundant phylum in C. gestroi and M. gilvus, while Spirochaetota is prevalent in G. sulphureus.
