Bacterial 16S rRNA gene amplicons of wood tiger moth, larval frass before transplantation
DNA was extracted from different samples types of a reciprocal fecal transplant experiment (whole larvae and larval cuticle wash water, larval frass, adult gut and abdominal fluids, larval diet). Nearly full-length bacterial 16S rRNA genes were amplified with custom primers (forward 5-AGAGTTTGATCMTGGCTCAG-3, reverse 5-CCTTGTTACGACTTCACCCCAG-3).
