Metagenomic sequencing of microbial communities in midgut of Spodoptera frugiperda larva induced by Serratia marcescens WY 26
The metagenomic sequencing revealed significant changes in the gut bacterial community structure post-infection, with S. marcescens becoming the dominant species. The infection led to alterations in metabolic and immune response pathways within the gut, affecting the larval growth and metabolism of S. frugiperda.
