Bacterial Communities of Diverse Drosophila Species: Ecological Context of a Host–Microbe Model System
Figure 3
Principle component analysis of the natural Drosophila microbiome.
All sequences were aligned and trimmed as described in the text. A single rooted tree for each PC analysis was generated using FastTree [36]. PC analysis was done with the FastUniFrac web application [62]. A: Comparison of the Drosophila microbiome with respect to diet type. All 20 naturally collected samples are included along with the laboratory samples from adult Drosophila feeding on rich Bloomington media (Text S1). B: Comparison of the natural Drosophila bacterial microbiome and the mammalian bacterial microbiome. D. melanogaster data is from Corby-Harris et al., 2007 [33]. Selected mammalian orders are from Ley et al., 2008a [12].
