Wild soldier fly microbiome diversity screen
This study sampled larvae of soldier fly species from 5 subfamilies (Beridinae, Pachygastrinae, Chiromyzinae, Stratiomyinae, Hermetiinae) in Australia and characterized their microbiome using PacBio HiFi full length 16S rRNA gene sequencing. It includes samples of Hermetia illucens (Black Soldier Fly) larvae from the wild and captivity, and Inopus sp., Damaromyia sp., Odontomyia sp. and Exaireta spinigera.
