Galbut virus infection did not alter levels of major microbiome constituents in flies. Relative amounts of DNA from predominant microbiome constituents in galbut virus-infected and uninfected flies were measured via qPCR from three replicate pools of 10 flies per pool per strain per sex. Mean DNA loads relative to single copy dfd gene are plotted, and crossbars indicate standard deviations of replicates. No statistically significant differences between galbut virus-infected and uninfected flies were identified using a Wilcoxon test.
