The microbial composition of larval airways from Drosophila melanogaster differ between specimens from laboratory and natural habitats

The microbial composition of larval airways from Drosophila melanogaster differ between specimens from laboratory and natural habitats

Abstract Background The fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster lives in natural habitats and has also long been used as a model organism in biological research. In this study, we used a molecular barcoding approach to analyse the airways microbiome of larvae of D. melanogaster, which were obtained from e...
