Detailed protocol for germ-free Drosophila melanogaster colonization with Propionibacterium spp. biofilms

Summary: In this protocol, we describe a germ-free Drosophila melanogaster model to investigate anaerobic bacterial biofilms. We detail how to establish Propionibacterium spp. biofilms in the fruit fly’s gut using an easy to carry out method.For complete details on the use and execution of this prot...
