FIGURE 6.

FL-HD female flies have lower abundance of Lactobacilli but elevated levels of Acetobacter. Microbial counts were determined by serial dilution plating of fly homogenates on MRS or Mannitol agar plates (section “Materials and Methods”). (A,B) Time course of the relative abundance of colony forming units (CFU) of Lactobacilli and Acetobacter, respectively. The data are represented as mean ± SEM, two-way ANOVA and Sidak’s multiple comparison Test. n = 4 agar plates for each condition, ^***p < 0.001.
