Table S1. Non-parametric diversity estimators. Diversity estimates were calculated using four different methods involving parametric (exponential and two parameter hyperbola) and non- parametric estimators (bootstrap and jackknife). 16S sequences were assigned to clusters (Operational Taxonomical Units or OTUs) using four different thresholds to differentiate OTUs: 3%, 2%, 1% and 0% difference in sequence. The highlighted 99% sequence identity threshold was chosen for the phylotype representation in the (Fig. 1b).

Fig. S1. Phylogenetic identification of termite host species 290cost002. The sequence of the mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase II (COII) gene was determined and aligned to all available Isoptera sequences, only species of the higher termite (Termitidae) genera Nasutitermes and Microcerotermes are shown. A, DNA nucleotide-based dendrogram using 661 unambigously aligned and filtered positions. B, DNA sequence was translated into amino acid sequence and a dendrogram was constructed using 228 unambiguously aligned and filtered positions. The trees were calculated using TREE-PUZZLE (Schmidt et al. 2002). Branching pattern confidence is visualised as follows: no circle, >50%; open circle, >70%; filled circle, >90%. The slightly contradictory tree topologies based on nucleotide and amino acid sequences is due to a large number of silent mutations in this gene. The collected specimens were most closely related to N. ephratae (by nt comparison, A) and N. corniger (by aa comparison, B) and we therefore only assign our specimens to Nasutitermes sp. in lieu of a comprehensive analysis of multiple collections of this and other closely related Nasutitermes throughout the region.

OTUs

Fig. S2. Accumulation curves of 16S rRNA genes obtained from the P3 luminal microbiota . Accumulation curves were constructed by plotting the number of unique Operational taxonomic units (OTUs) at 99% sequence identity found in a given number of clones versus the number of clones (averaged over a 1000 random permutations of the initial clone order). For comparison, besides an accumulation curve for the total number of OTUs, accumulation curves for the Spirochaetes related OTUs and the Fibrobacteres including TG3-related OTUs are shown, too. For the the total OTU accumulation curve, neither the exponential nor the two parameter hyperbola models offered good fits, so they were dropped. The non-parametric estimates for this data set produced more meaningful estimates of the total diversity (Table S1). Based on this estimates, 71 to 84% of the total OTU diversity has been sequenced.

Fig. S7. Phylogeny of 16s rRNA sequences affiliating with the phylum Acidobacteria recovered from Nasutitermes P3 lumen contents. Tree-Puzzle Maximum likelihood analysis of metagenome sequences identified in the present study (highlighted in red) was based on 1044 unambiguously aligned nucleotides. Sequences marked with (*) are partial gene fragments and were added later to the tree by parsimony methods. 16s rRNA sequences from phyla Spirochaetes, Firmicutes, and Proteobacteria were used to outgroup the unrooted tree. The Tree-Puzzle support values shown above nodes represent confidence values from a 10,000 puzzling step analysis of the dataset. Bar represents evolutionary distance given as 0.1 changes per nucleotide position.

genes coding for hydrogenase catalytic domains family 1 (pfam02906, large subunit, C-terminal domain) Hydrogenases with were discovered. Based on the overall 5 methyl-accepting domain sequence similarity, Fe-only hydrogenase proteins were grouped into 11 families; since many family 10 sequences represented gene fragments rather than complete genes, proteins within each family family 4 were aligned and a consensus sequence for each Pelobacter carbinolicus DSM 2380 (PAS domain), ABA89074.1 family was generated, which was further used for family 8 analysis of domain composition (Fig S17). The Thermoanaerobacter tengcongensis MB4 (PAS domain), AAM23959.1 tree shows that Fe-only hydrogenases in the family 6 termite hindgut metagenome are separated into 2 Treponema denticola ATCC 35405, AAS11795.1 large groups, with one of them containing Desulfovibrio desulfuricans G20, ABB37526.1 domains typical for hydrogenases catalyzing 2004096748, Contig10773 hydrogen evolution or uptake, while in the other 2004117939, Contig25966 2004090116, Contig5808 group catalytic the domain was fused to various 2004118909, Contig26581 other conserved domains (MA – methyl-accepting 2004133409, Contig35567 chemotaxis protein signaling domain, REC – 2004142657, Contig40246 2004087291, Contig3659 response regulator receiver domain, PAS and 2004139922, Contig38965 PAS_4 – PAS/PAC sensor domain).

Fig. S17. Three-dimensional structure of a family 2 Fe-only hydrogenase representative obtained by comparative modeling using the periplasmatic Clostridium pasteurianum enzyme Cpl as template and superimposed on its structure. The C. pasteurianum enzyme is colored cyan, family 2 protein is silver. The region in the C. pasteurianum protein that was deleted in family 2 is ice-blue. Iron-sulfur clusters in C. pasteurianum protein are presented as yellow CPK; cysteines coordinating proximal FS4A cluster are purple CPK in C. pasteurianum and green in family 2 protein. Cysteines coordinating H cluster are purple in C. pasteurianum and blue in family 2 protein, except for the subcluster-bridging cysteine, which is red in C. pasteurianum protein and pink in family 2 protein. Among the families of “catalytic” hydrogenases family 2 was the most remarkable one. Representatives of this family are very distant from any other Fe-only hydrogenase proteins and lack the C-terminal domain found in most Fe-only hydrogenases characterized so far; in addition, alignment of the catalytic domain showed that some of the cysteine residues coordinating the active-site iron-sulfur cluster may occupy different positions than in typical enzymes. The shown structure reveals that while the cysteine residues coordinating the proximal FS4A cluster align very well, cysteines coordinating the active-site iron-sulfur cluster (including the subcluster-bridging Cys) occupy different positions.

Green boxes denote the number of variants for each function recovered in the metagenome dataset. Note that for all of the functions, formate dehydrogenases appears to be particularly underrepresented, suggesting that either formate is generated from a precursor other than carbon dioxide (e.g. such as pyruvate), from within another gut compartment, or by an enzyme that belongs to a not yet recognizable FDH class of proteins. The blue box encompasses 5 proteins commonly encountered as being a part of the multi-enzyme acetyl synthase complex. The red boxes denote two classes of possible ion pumps that hypothetically might be used to drive either energy consuming steps in the pathway (e.g. CO2 reduction to CO) or energy conserving steps (such as the reduction of Methylene-THF or the methyl group transfer from THF to the CODH/ACS complex).

Fig. S21. Metagenomic formyl-tetrahydrofolate synthetases, markers of CO2-reductive homoacetogenic metabolism, affiliate with known homoacetogenic Spirochetaetes, not Firmicutes. A) Protein Maximum Likelihood phylogram of homoacetogen-like FTHFS homologs. Analysis based on 235 unambigouosly aligned amino acid positions. Short FTHFS fragments identified in Nasutitermes metagenomic libraries were not included in the phylogenetic analysis. Shaded box highlights FTHFS clade of homologs cloned from isolated termite gut homoacetogenic spirochetes and from the gut contents of species corresponding to four of the 6 major termite families. B) Variable region of FTHFS. Box highlights a short peptide region of the FTHFS protein that is unique to termite gut associated homoacetogenic spirochetes (e.g. isolated T. primitia strains ZAS-1 and ZAS-2) and gut derived PCR and metagenomic clones from Nasutitermes and termites representing an additional three termite families. A non-acetogenic gut spirochete (e.g. isolated T. azotonutricium strain ZAS-9) and “classical” firmicutes homoacetogens do not contain this character. This peptide stretch was not included in the phylogenetic analysis, thus stands in independent support of it. Note that not all of the metagenomic clones shown in B) were used in the phylogenetic analysis for A) as the gene fragments were too short to analyze fully.

Fig. S22. Phylogeny of Carbon Monoxide Dehydrogenase Catalytic Subunits (CooS) recovered during Nasutitermes P3 Metagenomic analysis. The enzymatic activity catalyzed by CooS homologs can be used in either the oxidative or reducitive direction, and in either anabolism or energy metabolism, depending on the Bacteria or Archaea in question, or their mode of growth. In CO2-reducing homoacetogens, the enzyme operates in the reductive direction (see Fig. S20). Maximum likelihood analysis was based on 245 unambigouosly aligned amino acid positions. Full length or near full length CooS are highlighted in blue and fell within two clusters, colored boxes A and B. Partial CooS fragments from the metagenomic dataset (not included in this phylogram) affiliated with either cluster A (1 sequence), B (9 sequences) or grouped within colored box C (4 sequences). One short CooS fragment affiliated with the two CooS homologs present in Campylobacter genomes (not shown). Values are given for a 1000 bootstrap analysis of the dataset. Bar represents evolutionary distance given as 0.1 changes per amino acid position.

Fig. S23. Abundance distribution of “Signal Transduction Mechanism COG” genes and functional domains among metagenomic datasets and representative single bacterial genomes. To account for the differences in size between the different datasets and genomes, the frequencies were normalized according to a Z-score method in IMG/M. The resulting normalized abundance frequencies were represented as gray scale intensities using Genesis software. Blue rectangles indicate COG categories having a high abundance within the termite gut metagenomic dataset, red rectangles indicate the highest abundance among the analyzed metabiomes and individual genomes. www.nature.com/nature 60
