Diet is not the primary driver of bacterial community structure in the gut of litter-feeding cockroaches
BMC MICROBIOLOGY, 19(1).
author keywords: Insects; Gut microbiota; Deep sequencing; Cockroaches; Lignocellulose
MeSH headings : Animals; Bacteria / classification; Bacteria / genetics; Bacteria / isolation & purification; Cockroaches / microbiology; DNA, Bacterial / genetics; DNA, Ribosomal / genetics; Diet; Gastrointestinal Microbiome; High-Throughput Nucleotide Sequencing / methods; Hydrogen-Ion Concentration; Isoptera / microbiology; Lignin / metabolism; Phylogeny; Plant Leaves / chemistry; RNA, Ribosomal, 16S / genetics
TL;DR:
The results indicate that diet is not the primary driver of bacterial community structure in the gut of wood- and litter-feeding cockroaches, and the high similarity to the gut microbiota of omnivorous cockroached suggests that the dietary components that are actually digested do not differ fundamentally between feeding groups.
