Comparison of the efficacy of the two studied metatranscriptomic pipelines versus the non-depleted control. The performance of two pipelines, RZ and ME, was tested for three termite species: N. ephratae, N. sp. and T. hospes. LF corresponds to luminal fluid and WG to whole termite gut RNA preparations. a Proportion of rRNA reads detected in the different metatranscriptomic libraries for the two studied pipelines and the non-depleted control. WG sampling strategy was only assessed with the pipeline RZ for T. hospes and N. sp. preparations. b Relative abundance of transcripts with no taxonomic assignment and assigned as of prokaryotic (archaea and bacteria), eukaryotic or viral origin
