Cumulative egg production by D. melanogaster flies fed control or control medium supplemented with 5% of an Aspergillus oryzae postbiotic (AO). Mated, age-matched w¹¹¹⁸ females were maintained at a constant ambient temperature of either (A) 25 °C (standard culture conditions) or (B) 29 °C for 14 days. Data are least squares means ± SEM from 5 independent experiments (n = 5/experiment). Treatment × day interaction was not significant at 25 °C (P = 0.732) and 29 °C (P = 0.867). The effect of AO was significant at 25 °C (P = 0.021) and 29 °C (P = 0.004).
