FIGURE 7.
Relative abundance of Lactobacilli strains and A. senegalensis in the gut of female HD flies by 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis. (A) Comparative analysis of Da-Gal4 flies with those expressing WT-HTT, (B) Da-Gal4 with FL-HD flies, and (C) WT-HTT with FL-HD. Parts (D–F) show the effects of crocin on the abundance of bacteria in Da-Gal4, WT-HTT, and FL-HD flies, respectively. All analyses were performed as described in the section “Materials and Methods” by Zymogen’s computational biologists. Lactobacillus-NA strain was not detected in the data base.
