Drosophila gut microbiota metagenomics
Low diversity bacterial community in the gut of the fruitfly Drosophila melanogaster
The bacterial complement in different lifestages of laboratory-reared Drosophila melanogaster was quantified by 454 pyrosequencing of 16S rRNA gene amplicons.
To test definitively whether the gut microbiota of D. melanogaster is of low diversity and the composition of the gut microbiota
