Bacterial community in the oral secretion (OS) of FAW larvae grown on artificial diet (Poitout). (A) Number of colonies of Enterococcus mundtii and Diutina rugosa in OS (OS +) and dysbiotic OS after antibiotic treatment of the diet (OS-). The two observed morphotypes were counted on nutrient agar medium and taxonomically identified after sequencing of the 16S rRNA gene. (B) Heatmap showing the bacterial microbial community composition of midgut and OS of FAW larvae. Each column is the mean of four (midgut) and three (OS) biological replicates. The 30 most abundant operational taxonomic units (OTUs) among OTUs with a minimal threshold of reads > 0.1% of the whole read are represented at the bacterial genus level. Their name is followed by a bootstrap confidence score, which gives a level of confidence to the assignment. The percentage of relative abundance is represented with a color gradient in log scale.
