  1. The abundance of different sample flora at the level of the KEGG secondary pathways was predicted using PICRUSt. All annotated to KEGG level 2 pathway (metabolism pathway).
  2. ArM male adults fed with artificial diet for 15 days, ArF female adults fed with artificial diet for 15 days, ApM male adults fed with aphids for 15 days, ApF female adults fed with aphids for 15 days.
