Assessing the impact of diet formulation and age on targeted bacterial establishment in laboratory and mass-reared Mediterranean fruit fly using full-length 16S rRNA sequencing

Assessing the impact of diet formulation and age on targeted bacterial establishment in laboratory and mass-reared Mediterranean fruit fly using full-length 16S rRNA sequencing

ABSTRACT Insect gut microbiota play important roles in host health and interactions with the environment. In laboratory and mass-reared insects, gut microbiomes can differ in composition and function compared to wild conspecifics. For fruit flies, such as the Mediterranean fruit fly (medfly; Ceratit...
