Infective dose of a MEP-degrading Burkholderia (OTU01) in R. pedestris. The infection frequency of Burkholderia OTU01 in insects and the environmental density of it in soils were used to estimate the 50% infective dose (ID₅₀) of the Burkholderia. The density of Burkholderia OTU01 was estimated by the copy number of bacterial 16S rRNA gene, and the relative abundance of OTU01 was determined by deep sequencing. Dotted lines indicate ID50 of Burkholderia OTU01
