Concentration-dependent effect of plant secondary metabolites on bacterial and fungal microbiomes in caterpillar guts

ABSTRACT Plant–herbivore interactions have been modulated by plant secondary metabolites (PSM), which exert a strong pressure on herbivore microbiome. This study examined the effects of different PSM types and concentrations on caterpillar fitness, composition of gut bacterial and fungal assemblages...
